The Railfan Trifecta - a photo on Flickriver

The Railfan Trifecta

Coming around the curve at Midland on UP's Kansas Sub, the UP 1943 leads an eastbound "double" coal load towards Lawrence. This is looking north from N 1900 Rd., and is near MP 42 on the line.

The train is the CBTWL9, bound for Ameren Energy's West Labadie, MO plant near St. Louis.

Given the fact that you had the trifecta of cool stuff, nice weather, and a weekend, there were plenty of fans out to catch this one, and most of them rightfully congregated on this stretch of track between Midland and Lawrence.
