Two aces now..........
Title:  Two aces now..........
Description:  This train originally had only two units on it, coming into Jefferson City......now we have three! They spent at least two hours at the crew change point, taking the lead unit from a following coal drag, and attaching it to this train. Without it, they might not have made the upcoming hill. Almost an 8600 ft train!

PSR moment.....
Title:  PSR moment.....
Description:  Took this one along time to come out of Jefferson City. Seems one of the units was low on fuel, so they shut that one down. Running 3x2x2, empty, this one is now on the Sedalia sub, and would eventually hold the main further up the line, so an eastbound Amtrak could take a side. This is my first in person PSR train.
