    This image was taken at MP C1+25 poles, and therefore it is in Missouri near 29th Street. It depicts an engine and caboose, which on on their way to Rosedale, where the crew would pick-up a waiting train to take south. It was typical practice for called crews to pick-up their power and caboose at 19th. Rosedale was the outbound yard; 19th Street was the inbound yard, coach yard, and the location where the motive power and cabooses were serviced.

    Good eye, Karl – I can see the line pole markings just to the right of 929. Would the overpass in the background be for I-35?

    Thanks also for the operational details – it has always seemed like a peculiar arrangement, the inbound/outbound yards in KC.

    Th title should read 929, not 925. There are several pics of this train later on down the line setting out cars in Lenexa.
