High Iron Rail Excursions "Southern Explorer" Crossing Meramec River in Valley Park, MO--April 28, 2012         
Early on the morning of April 28, 2012, the High Iron Rail Excursions "Southern Explorer" departed St. Louis on a 2000-plus mile journey that would take it through 5 states. Here we see the train as it crosses the Meramec River in Valley Park, MO on the BNSF Cuba Sub. The rearmost car we see here is "Caritas," which was built in 1948 by the Pullman Company for the St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad(Frisco). The car has been used on such famous passenger trains as the Frisco/MKT "Texas Special."
