This trip to go after UP 4014 in Kansas was really my first time chasing in Kansas. In several locations, I noticed these interesting derails that include a derail sign that is over the rails when the derail is set. Not a bad idea as it clearly makes the fact the derail is aligned against the train. An eastbound UP coal train has slowed to a stop on the main. A new crew will take the train east to Salina, KS.
