Northbound Manifest BNSF 8496 GECX 2025 BNSF 9021 9394 9248 2382 1737 West Bottoms Kansas City Missouri

            A BNSF manifest rolls north on Kansas City Terminal trackage at Milepost 7.0 in Kansas City, Missouri on May 14, 2017. Six EMD’s and one GE lead the train as it proceeds towards the former Burlington Northern, ex CB&Q Murray Yard in North Kansas City. Up front are BNSF SD70ACe 8496, GECX leased ET44AC 2025 and three more SD70ACe’s, the 9021, 9394 and 9248 followed by GP38-2 2382 (ex TP&W 2011) and finally SD40-2 1737, (ex Santa Fe 5169).

Looking like a drone shot, (even though it isn’t) this Interstate highway overpass provides a a nice vantage point to catch northbound trains running along the Kansas City Terminal’s West Side Rail Corridor in K.C.’s West Bottoms. In the background, over the train we get a good view of another West Bottoms institution, the American Royal Center located near the site of the now removed sprawling stock yards. 

Following construction of it’s first permanent structure in 1908, the American Royal built new facilities in 1926 and 1992, (current facility still in operation). An interesting fact about the complex was that due to it’s size, during World War II, the buildings were converted into factories for construction of gliders for the war effort. Following the war, the complex returned to it’s original role as a livestock venue for shows and competitions.
