Mexico Bound Manifest – Pic of the Day
I’m starting a new category that will allow me to post an image, typically an action shot, for which there might not be a narrative. There’s no fixed time frame for this shot, so it could be current, it could be vintage.
Presenting (drum roll….) the premiere edition of the Pic of the Day.
KCS 697 and 2 other SD40-2’s have an IJALZJ (Intermodal Jackson, MS to Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico) at track speed just west of Rosenberg, TX on 9/14/2007. It sure looks like a manifest train, but bringing up the rear were a couple of well cars with some 48′ and 53′ containers.
