I can only hope they make it down to KC or St. Louis when i am there next week. I know before they went west for the photo shoot the MKT and MP units frequented the yard at Dupo, IL

Hi, Danny, and thanks for your compliments. Hey, it was such a rare event to see these Heritage engines in Illinois, I had to stop everything I was doing to get some photos. Who knows, I may never see them again!!!

Since I wouldn't be able to see them, didn't pay too much attention to the notice of their pending arrivals. Katy, Rio Grande and SP way off home territory! Neat! Nice work.
