Western Railroad Discussion > More than a parked intermodal empty at Gardner, KSDate: 05/21/16 16:59 More than a parked intermodal empty at Gardner, KS Author: JoCoLB After going to Larry's Lookout in Gardner, KS, shortly after noon today, Saturday, May 21, 2016, i became disappointed.
There was a lone empty intermodal train parked at the east end of Track Four, which leads back west to the Logistics Park Kansas City intermodal center just west of town. I waited nearly a full hour before I saw a single train. My patience eventually was rewarded during the next half-hour. I was able to frame three westbounders in my viewfinder within a span of 28 minutes. 1:05 p.m. --- Here came an westbound intermodal "Z" train with a variety of cargo shipments. 1:17 p.m. --- Arriving at the Gardner station sign/signal bridge was a westbound auto rack train. 1:33 p.m. --- The bonus shot was the third train to show up. It was a military train with various pieces of field equipment on flat cars. I do not know where the train originated or what its destination is. This is on the BNSF Railway's Emporia Sub., 30-plus miles southwest of Kansas City, Kan. (Photos by Larry Byers) Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 05/21/16 19:13 by JoCoLB.

Here is the first of two segments.
