Columbia Mixed
Title:  Columbia Mixed
Description:  For many years the Wabash and then the N&W ran a mixed train several times a day from the college town of Columbia MO to the main at Centralia. In this case it's 10:30 AM as N&W train no.32 departs for the 22 mile run up to Centralia, where it will meet wesbound train no.203, the City of Kansas City and eastbound no.210, the City of St Louis. By 1968 they were down to two each way daily; the service lasted through April 1969, only about six months after Ozark Airlines finally offered jet service to the new Columbia Regional Airport, with DC-9s and FH-227s replacing the DC-3s that had called on the old Columbia Muni Airport. Power in this shot is NW 2446, a freight GP7 of Nickel Plate ancestry.

Columbia Yard
Title:  Columbia Yard
Description:  A view of the small, stub-end yard at Columbia MO in 1967. GP7 2446 sits next to the passenger station prior to running the two-per-day (at that time) train to the main at Centralia. This shot was taken about three years after the N&W took over the Wabash. This tracks were pulled up here in November 1978 and the station was subsequently developed into a transit center. This operation was featured in Kalmbach's "Classic Railroads You Can Model" series.

COLT SW1200 #1 - Columbia Terminal
Title:  COLT SW1200 #1 - Columbia Terminal
Description:  Sharp looking SW1200 switcher for the Columbia Terminal which looks like it just stepped out of the paint shop. Built by EMD in June of 1954 as Bauxite & Northern Rwy #11, it landed on the Columbia Terminal roster in the 1980's. Note the prominent "COLT" on the side near the front. Later paint schemes would cover that and put a large lozenge logo under the cab windows. The slide was taken by a railfan named Jones.

Description:  Columbia Terminal's "Big unit" sits on a siding along Browns Station Road just north of Columbia MO in Aug 2009. The paint scheme is a classy nod to the line's Wabash predecessor. Their other locomotive is an SW1200 that can usually be found inside the fence of the city's power plant.
