Railfanning 14 straight hours one of Union Pacific's busiest lines

Filmed on the UPRR Kansas Sub between Kansas City and Topeka KS. 1. Eastbound manifest sitting at Linwood 8:17pm 2. EB Grain empty at Midland 8:35pm 3. EB crude oil load at Medina 9:07pm 4. Westbound ZG2LC at Perry 9:32pm 5. EB Ethanol load at Perry 10:01pm 6. WB manifest at Williamstown 10:44pm (Heavy downpour caused a flash flood slow order. this plus a grain train that went into emergency on main 2 at Williamstown caused delays for the next many hours) 7. WB ZG4CI at Medina 11:45pm 8. EB grain load out of emergency now at Midland 12:13am 9. EB manifest also running thru the fast flood slow order 12:24am. (the DS made the mistake of running him around the grainer on main 1 not knowing that there was a flash flood going on. this caused 4 westbounds to get stacked up east of Lawrence) 10. EB empty Autorack at Newman 1:01am 11. WB grain load at Medina 1:47am 12. WB manifest at Medina 2:17am 13. WB intermodal at Medina 2:43am 14. WB manifest at Medina 3:09am 15. EB intermodal at Perry which was just pulling away from getting his mid DPUs fueled at Medina where I had been sitting gets overtaken by 16. EB double coal load at Perry 4:20am 17. WB manifest meets same intermodal at Midland 4:45am 18. EB ZLCG2 passes same intermodal at Linwood 5:25am 19. EB ZCIG4 at Medina 6:27am 20. EB grain empty at Medina 7:10am 21. WB ZMNNP at Medina 7:14am 22. EB MTPKC at Medina 7:58am 23. WB IG4LB at Medina 8:29am 24. EB KP coal load at Medina 8:41am 25. EB manifest at Medina 9:09am 26. EB MHNCB at Newman 9:35am 27. EB LMC40 at Newman 9:49am My rough guess is that around 3500 freight cars went by in 14 hours. Not a high train count compared to years ago, but still averaging about 4 freight cars a minute going by! That's 8 containers or 400 tons of bulk goods every single minute
