On Its Way in the Early Evening

| The Frisco 1522 Mountain-type steam locomotive left the Museum of Transportation and is arriving in downtown St. Louis. Look at the class lights on the smokebox, and the way the setting sun illuminates the trackage. |
| The 1522 and its support cars arrive at the UP 12th Street Yard. It left a day early, so no one was pre-positioned with cameras. The train had to be chased down and photographed on the fly! |
| The train approaches the platform of the Metrolink station at Grand Ave. The catenary for the Metrolink light rail trains is in the foreground. This is a great railfan spot. |
