A beautiful Sunday across the Midwest meant I was out enjoying the great weather. Of course heading out trackside was on the list but also decided to catch the US Navy's Blue Angels performing at the Spirit of St. Louis Airshow at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield, MO. Highlights were a 4 pack of KCS Southern Belle Geeps, some fallen flag rolling stock and a CP business train passenger car on the rear of CPMC M259 as well. All in all a great day! Enjoy!!
