The following are my photos of NS 1071, the Jersey Central heritage locomotive, passing Union Station at 9:15 a.m. CDT. It was headed north with an empty oil tank train. It had originated at St James, Louisiana and is going to Illinois to be interchanged with another railroad.  Train ID was OSJEP-15. The 1071 was third in the consist, consisting of NS 1025, NS 1000, NS 1071 and BNSF 4624. Thanks to several UP people and railfans for giving a heads up. The photos of that locomotive and train follow, plus more 'regular' train photos after these:
