Trains at Union Station Kansas City

I went to Union Station on a 95 degree Missouri Sunday to catch a few trains.

Train 1 UP Loaded Coal
UP C44AC #7242 (RS3L)
UP C44AC #6319 (Ex. SP)
DPU UP C44AC #6488

Train 2 UP TTX Empties
UP SD70M #4031 (K5LA)
UP SD70ACe #8???

Train 3 BNSF Intermodal Transfer
BNSF SD39-2 #1799, nice horn
BNSF SD39-2 #1811

Train 4 UP Intermodal, nice engineer
UP C45ACCTE #5314
UP SD70M #4943
CSXT CW44AC #87
DPU UP C45ACCTE #7664

Train 5 BNSF Container/Trailers
BNSF C44-9W #4092

I believe the BNSF Schnieder train was a transfer to/from the KCS Center Point Intermodal facility

Thanks! A DPU is a Distributed Power Unit. That is the locomotive(s) in the middle or on the end of the train that act as helper units to push the train and reduce coupler tension.
