UP Freight crossing BN Diamond at Fairlawn         
Here, the L-NJ56 local is crossing BN's St. Louis to Springfield, MO, Cuba Subdivision in Kirkwood. The boxcars behind the diesels are loaded with Wisconsin book paper and are destined for Von Hoffman's now-shuttered Crestwood, MO, publishing facility, which manufactured children's school books. Today, this view is completely different as the diamonds are long gone and UP's right-of-way overgrown here.
