New Paint After Dark - a photo on Flickriver

New Paint After Dark

            Today was a dreary day in northeast Kansas, but I had the day off, so I kept the scanner on while hanging around the house.  I heard the UP 8522 hollering at the Dispatcher, looked it up, and found that it was one of the newly-repainted, quasi-flagless units.  

When Cade let me know that it was on the move eastbound, I picked up my stuff, and hit the road.  Having not gotten any shots of these repaints leading yet, I was determined to get something out of the deal.  As is often the case on cloudy days, the answer to this always lies in nightfall.  Here, the train sits just west of the 10th St. overpass in Kansas City, KS after having just swapped crews.

This is the CBTOL9-22, which runs from the Black Thunder Mine to Ameren's plant near Oologah, OK, so from KC, it'll turn towards the south for the home stretch.

Take note: Going out to chase this is in no way an endorsement of this scheme.  I'm happy that they finally lost the hood flag, but the finished (?) product looks completely ridiculous.  However, I had free time, and the determination to photograph something new to me.
