Between Winona and McAllister, UP 4014 and train cross a few irrigation streams in a very scenic part of the Kansas country side. Kansas is, generally, pretty flat (of course), but there certainly are areas that bring out the beauty of the plains.

US-40 follows the tracks pretty closely for the most part between Oakley, KS and Sharon Springs, KS. However, there is a couple mile stretch where the track are about a mile north of the highway. Flying in with the drone offered this nice shot.

As always, a long line of cars has formed on US-40, following the Big Boy on its journey west. Just ahead is the tiny town of Page City, KS.

UP 4014 crosses over a culvert that had a bunch of cows seeking shelter from the 105ºF heat. However, the thundering sound of the Big Boy special has spooked the cows, and they are stampeding away from their shelter!
