- Ride on-board the cab of Amtrak's Train #4, the "Southwest Chief" from Kansas City to Chicago.
This is a 5-part program. This is part four, Ormonde to Mendota, Illinois.
See the entire line, and listen to the comments of the crews as they point out railroad and historical features along the way. This BNSF line is former Santa Fe trackage to Cameron and former CB&Q rails to Mendota.
This was shot well before Positive Train Control, so you'll see plenty of old signal bridges.
This is a perfect video for watching while working out. The rumble of the engine and my heart beating reminds me of my time as a Freight Conductor on CSX! I definitely love the locomotive engine sounds! Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work! 👍
Ive had several people tell me that the cab ride videos make them feel like they are "going somewhere" on their exercise bikes! Glad that you enjoy them!
@@RailwayProductions That's exactly what I've been doing when watching these videos! 😅
Excellent. Now for the final part from Mendota to Chicago. Looking forward to seeing it. Well done Les, you are a legend.
Love this! Wish more ride alongs were shown like this!
The videographer spent $11k on his camera. The camera on my Samsung A71 is orders of magnitude superior, and I only paid around $400 for it. Mind blowing how technology has advanced in the past couple decades. Kudos to Amtrak #4 crew for picking up #6's passengers in Princeton because that train was running late.
Nice ride .
We took The Southwest Chief from Chicago to Las Vegas NM . Highly recommend long distance Amtrak it’s a great experience.
Awesome video, thanks to you and Amtrak! Thanks for sharing!!!!
All aboard Amtrak
This helps me sleep at night
Nice video
RP would you do Cavalcade of steam.
🇳🇱GREAT VIDEO SUPER 👍👍👍👍👍💯🍀
I’ve ridden the Southwest Chief several times between 2018 and 2023 and the same conductors go from KC to Chicago (no crew change at Galesburg). Was that not the case in 2000? If so, what changed?
Engine crews made the Galesburg turn and conductors went KC-chi when I rode.
(Same thing I said in the chat, but just so I can get a full time reply. ^^')
I know this is a bit of an unpopular opinion of mine, but is it weird that I do wish that the Chief stayed on Santa Fe rails the whole way instead of switching to the former BN? ^^'
great video 🚅🚅🚃
What does "no defects" mean?
Means things like no hot bearings, no dragging hoses etc.
I saw in the chat that you were planning another cab ride on the Empire Builder but 9/11 ruined those plans, I bet it must have been disappointing to you when your plans to be on another cab ride were dashed. Was it?
For Ormonde to Mendota
Then, from Mendota to Chicago Illinois
No one is calling signals???
