Northbound UP Manifest Train
Title:  Northbound UP Manifest Train
Description:  Headed for Atchison, KS is UP Train MKCAT 26, with a pair of SD70Ms bracketing an online GP38-2 at Broadway on the UP KC Metro Sub. The train will skirt flooding right up the ties in several spots on the way to Atchison along the Fall City Sub., which would be under within the week from the Missouri River, despite extreme effort on UP's part to raise the railroad.
