Filmed: 06/16/18 As construction on the new Kansas City Eastern service facility continues, the railroad's partnership with the Union Pacific still has them working out of the Enterprise Locomotive Facility. So while we follow the KCE manifest in this one, we still have a few other railroads showing up; KCS, UP. CN, plus some Wheeling & Lake Erie (WE) assisting the KCE. The WE is an Ohio based regional that adopted the classic Denver & Rio Grande Western paint scheme. One of WE's "higher ups" used to work for the Rio Grande and he got the WE to use that scheme. The WE even has a small handful of former Rio Grande power like the Tunnel Motor seen here, the #5413. The KCE interchanges with the WE in Carey, OH, so sometimes power don't get taken off, and other power added on, creating KCE/WE combos. The train we follow here is an eastbounder headed back to Carey, so the WE will have their power back in a day or two. As for work on the new KCE Facility, construction is going on just to the south, across the mains from Enterprise which is just north of the east/west mainlines. The new facility will not only accommodate the KCE, but WE and CSX will have a presence there too. Anyway, when I was at the club yesterday, I finished all the concrete grade crossings (except for one over on Dad's Broadway facility) and the big concrete pad for the new shop. So, with that out of the way, starting this week, ballast and scenery. The real fun is about to begin, getting to watch this thing come to life. I'll post update pics on my Facebook page during the scenery process and once it's all done and ready for the August show, I'll have a video on it as well. That's it for now, thanks for watching and see you next time!
