La Plata Spring Railfan Event 2015 4/7/2015 Part 2



by Chris Guenzler

We drove from West Medill to the next grade crossing at County Road at MP 265.21. This was another new location for me to take pictures.





First a BNSF track inspector came by our photo location.











Amtrak's Southwest Chief Train 4 went by us doing 90 MPH at County Road at MP 265.21.















BNSF 8271 West. From here we drove to our next photo location and an old favorite of mine, the old bridge west of Medill.





The Dead Animal Tour continues, Christy Walker!











BNSF 6697 East at the old bridge west of Medill.











BNSF 7819 West here, another new location for me to take pictures.

BNSF 6893 East at Hicks Road in Gorin. From here we went back to Kirksville to Subway to pick up some dinner then returned to La Plata. I stopped for petrol at Casey's before going by Train Party to see Shivam, after which we walked behind the building for a picture.





The Chris Guenzler Million Mile Lookout Point. We went back to the Depot Inn & Suites where I wrote this story, then watched "NCIS" and "Agents of Shield". I relaxed and waited to see what the weather would be for tomorrow, the last day of the Spring La Plata Railfan Event 2015.
