Submitted For Your Approval - One-hundred Twelfth Installment

Here's a photo I took on August 23, 1996, TWENTY-SIX YEARS AGO, while making my way across the UP Hoisington Subdivision, a former Missouri Pacific property that has either been downgraded to branchline status, is dormant, or is abandoned.

This photo was taken from the train I rode from Horace to Kansas City, comprised solely of auto-racks. On the east side of Scott City, we're crossing the former ATSF Great Bend Subdivision that by this date had already been spun off to a regional railroad, now operated by WATCO. In the years since I took this photo, the regional railroad built some connection tracks at this intersection and the ex-Missouri Pacific line has been truncated into a 17.5 mile branch between Scott City and Healy.
