Back in 2021, I heard the KCS westbound freight out of St. Louis had been running afternoons west of Roodhouse. Well, that changed the week we showed up. On Wednesday a complete meltdown created a 12-hour late train and a rare daylight run west of Mexico on Thursday. After being stumped the first 2 days with this line, we made up for it this fine evening as we chased the train from Glasgow to Concord. With a 13:00 departure out of Mexico, we waited at Glasgow for the 1st shot with the train crossing the huge Missouri River Bridge. At Slater, the train would pick up cars and power and meet their counterpart at Blackburn, making for a great evening chase! Here the job is west of Glasgow as they climb towards Slater.
