afternoon, does anyone have any info on up katy unit? last we heard in rochelle it was at proviso, and would leave on a west bound express piggy,or stacker, mon or tues morning. thanx!!!
I believe it left Proviso for points south, on a Houston-bound manifest.
The first revenue move for this unit was as lead unit southbound on U.P. train symbol NCAS-24 today.
Wait…so its not gonna stop in Omaha for display[:O][:O]? Is it going to be in Omaha at all?[%-)]
I didn’t even know that Katy was in Proviso at any time… hum interesting.
Mr. Eolafan, the correct train designation is MYCAS (manifest, Yard Center to Alton & Southern in St. Louis).
Sarah, those heritage units can’t get out of Wisconsin (where they’re painted) without coming through Proviso. The first two were covered with tarps, but this one wasn’t.
As for the Katy itself, the closest it ever got to us was St. Louis. Even though I’m pretty sure that particular trackage is gone, the heritage unit is headed toward home rails. AMG
