An eastbound redball sails into Camden, MO on a Sunday morning, making haste for Marceline and beyond. A pity the Frisco locomotive colors didn't last into this era, but it's nice to see the coonskin on a couple Frisco boxcars.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
