GP20, Arrowedge, F40, FP9. Good Day - a photo on Flickriver

            The Amtrak 40th Anniversary train found it's way to Kansas City today on it's way to Topeka for the weekend, and I was happy to be able to catch it. The trainset came into town on the head end of Amtrak #311, the MO River Runner, with the F40 miraculously leading. This was the first time I've seen this set, and I couldn't have been happier to find the "F40" in the lead.

After arriving at KCUS, the train bedded down next to the depot, while the mainline opened up for other traffic. Here, the UP #7346 and brand new #8120 lead what I believe is the G4CI, while a KCT switch job switches out some ballast hoppers in the background with GP20 #2005. From what I understand, the 2005 is on borrowed time on the KCT, with some new GP39-2's to come on line shortly and replace it.
