4679 is already needing a wash after the recent thunderstorms and heavy rain throughout the midwest.

Long stops for setouts and pickups at Wood River and Roodhouse, Illinois has left the crew just 5 minutes service time remaining as they approach the Mexico, Missouri depot.

MVNKC slowly enters the Mexico, Missouri yard limits over East Liberty Street. 4679 has made a few trips between East St. Louis and Kansas City now, mostly after dark or under heavy clouds.
