UP 1982 MOPAC Heritage unit on a coal train!!!

Me and the one and only UPTRAIN went Mop Heritage unit chasing today as she was leading the CNWRO26 west out of Kansas City. Here is what I came up with. 3-1-11
CNWRO-26
UP 1982
UP 6713 (ex CNW 8811)
UP 5803
REAR DPU UP 5703

1ST shot is from Woodsweather road in Kansas City, near the Broadway bridge.
2nd shot is just down the road at Liberty St. crossing.
3rd shot is west of KC about 10 miles near Wolcott at Marxen Road. (1st time I have used my 'fisheye' lens on my camcorder....didn't know you would be able to see it in the final product!$@)

That awesome patched CNW unit 2nd out was the whole reason 1982 was in the consist--it was added when the Northwestern unit blew up. Note the kitty litter down the walkways.

@sp8192 I think it looks cool, + I really like low angle train shots anyways.
