MP 6001         
Northbound hopper train at MP 99 on the DeSoto sub near Glover, MO. This is likely an empty ore train heading to either Pilot Knob or Pea Ridge to reload. MP 6001 was one of just a handful of Mopac units to have a Mars light in the nose (and dynamic brakes). Built to BN specs for unit coal train pool service, she was later UP 3901, GATX 901. Date of photo approximate.
