In March of 1943 Jack Delano hitched a ride on a west-bound freight of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe on its journey to Kansas City, Kansas. The train met an east-bound train while along it’s route between Fort Madison, Iowa and Marceline, Missouri. The crew gives the photographer a friendly wave as their train passes by.
This line apparently still sees heavy traffic, as a search on Google Maps shows the line between Fort Madison and Kansas City is still double tracked.
Do enjoy riding caboose fun raiser up in Enid, O.K.
They have around 6 or more on the trips.
Speed only around 10 mph, but still cool!
