Along with the joint Gateway Cherokee intermodal train, the AP&W and the KCS also frequently team up on grain movements between the Midwest and the Northeast, especially in the fall.
Not only are two KCS engines on the head-end of this east-bound unit grain train, but the first three cars are KCS hoppers in the new image scheme as well!
After the KCS hoppers, are these Union Pacific hoppers. Because they are leased, they wear CMO reporting marks. The brown one is leased from GATX.
The train also has these Illinois Central hoppers. These cars now work for the Canadian National, who bought the Illinois Central in 1999.
The other Canadian railroad, CP Rail, is also represented in the train.
Agricultural giant ADM has a large fleet of freight cars to move its products across the continent, and the train has a number of ADM hoppers representative of this fleet.
