UP 178
Title:  UP 178
Description:  UP's LNJ592 local heads south down UP's former Missouri Pacific Carondelet Branch, which was re-named the "Kirkwood Industrial Lead" when the middle portion of this line was abandoned in 1993. This train is making a rare move down the stubbed branch to Watson Rd. near Crestwood Mall to retrieve an empty depressed-center flat car that was carrying a transformer load for a nearby AmerenUE substation. This crossing would only be used a few more times before this trackage was abandoned in 2000 (from the junction with UP's Jeff City Sub at Kirkwood all the way to end-of-track in Crestwood @ Pardee Rd., about 2.5 miles). Since abandonment, these crossing signals have been replaced with stoplights, which protect cyclists using Grants Trail.
