Here are some photos I made years ago of various events, including many fallen flag locomotives in and around Arkansas, Texas and St Louis. Included is a long string of KATY locomotives at the Jenks Shops in North Little Rock right after UP took over the M-K-T.  Also the first run of the 1522 steam locomotive in St Louis.  Comments are welcome: ken@trainweather.com (Ken Ziegenbein photos)
