This is train MNLKC 30, coming into Valmeyer, IL on July 8th, 2007. The train left North Little Rock on the 30th of June and sat for several days outside of town, then sat another couple days in north Arkansas. The train was forced onto this route by flooding in southeast Kansas, as were many others that normally travel into Kansas City that way. The extra traffic bogged down trains all over the route between Little Rock and Saint Louis. |
