Executive MAC's RULE!
Title:  Executive MAC's RULE!
Description:  A BN Executive SD70MAC leads this empty coal train off the Ft. Scott Sub. The car to the right is the PURPLE KIA that my co-worker and I were assigned to by the Lenexa, KS Enterprise Rent-A-Car. This shot gives a good overview of the 'Old Union Depot Interlocking' - thats what the tower in the background was for.
