Description
While Argentine yard is one of the biggest classification yards on the continent (behind UP's Bailey Yard in North Platte, NE), it handles a lot of traffic that goes mainly inbound from the west, and outbound to the east (read: stack trains headed from LA to Chicago).

But it does put out a lot of westbound traffic on the Emporia Sub.

Here, BNSF C40-8W #530 and ex-ATSF GP60 #8723 head west down the Emporia sub double main past CP Holliday with a large manifest in tow. The cross-over and turnout form the beginning of the Topeka sub.

Man, my Sigma lens just has bad reflections at full zoom...
