Re: September 2025 Train Photo of the Month

Here's mine of BNSF 9026 and CN 3283 sitting alongside old 210 Hwy just outside of Liberty, MO on the NS KC District also taken on September 20th of this year. This was taken prior to NS 224 arriving as this train was stopped to let the WB pass by before continuing on east towards the Brookfield Sub.
