F7A 32, SD45 911 and VO-1000 217 at the east end of Springfield West yard (date unknown) (R. Wallin).

This is at Springfield. The structure behind the F units is the engine service shed at the west yard. Beyond that, running across the whole image, is the Kansas Expressway viaduct. Further in the distance, above the locomotives that includes the F units, is the water tower at the shops.

Special thanks to Paul Bender.
