Yes, the Sue Line Union Terminal is often confused with the Saint Louis Union Terminal Railroad. I have no real reason why! Tonight, lets go along with Jim Willis as he takes three trains over the railroad. Here we see the Union Pacific (UP 8065) lease power on Train 447, a northbound grain train, as it enters North Park. Next we see Train 447, a northbound grain train, passing through Ft. Barrow. Here we see the rear end of Train 447, a northbound grain train, as in passes through Robert's Crossing. Here we see Train 447, a northbound grain train,as it passes Train 459, a northbound freight in Sue City. Train 447, a northbound grain train,is see in Brandon. The power from Train 447, a northbound grain train, is then moved to the fueling rack in Ginnings Yard. TRAIN 459- A NORTHBOUND FREIGHT. Remember the northbound freight we passes in Sue City? Well Jim Willis is sent by company car to Sue City to bring Train 459, a northbound freight, the to Shreveport Terminal. A portion of Train 459 a northbound freight, as it waits in Sue City. Train 459, a northbound freight, is see passing through Brandon. Train 459, a northbound freight, passes through South Morgan. The power from Train 459, a northbound freight, is removed and is headed through BUSY Yard to the Diesel Facility. Here we have a track level view of the power from Train 459, a northbound freight.
