Title:
The City of St Louis
Description:
The City of St Louis was innagurated in June 1946 with the Wabash handling the train from St Louis to Kansas City and the UP taking it to points west, including Denver, Cheyenne and through cars to the West Coast. In June 1968 Wabash's successor, the NW, cut all through service and ran it only between Missouri's two largest cities. It was finally anulled in mid-1969 leaving MP as the only road to continue to offer St Louis and Kansas City service, where there had at one time been four. (Rock Island and CB&Q/GM&O being the others). This shot, supposedly by George Drake, shows it approaching Moberly behind N&W E8A 3815 (the former WAB 1015) in February 1969. Consist late in its life is an N&W heavyweight diner, two coaches and a pair of baggage cars.
