Union Pacific

   Iron rail travel
Transcontinental route
Key to westward expansion

T rains rumble through Warrensburg regularly. Occasionally their arrival coincides with my walk and I find myself in position to make a photograph. Here I was on an overpass as the engine approached from below. Close-up these transportation conveyances are impressive at full speed. Looking down as they rapidly pass can create mild vertigo. The winged-shield logo on the nose is a nice touch.
