Amtrak, A&S, B&O and Cotton Belt at HN Cabin, followed by TRRA, Amtrak and Penn Central near Union Station and Gratiot St Tower. Next is more A&S back at E St. Louis, then MoPac, Katy and Amtrak from Grant tower. Perhaps a viewer could ID the Frisco runbys. I assume they're on the line out of St. Louis.
Love the railroad scenes!
The Frisco meet was shot in Valley Park, MO. The Frisco train crossing the bridge was taken in Crescent, MO.
Thanks!
Wonderful images. All the colors of the Midwest roads. As always, thank you!
Excellent- thanks for sharing
Awesome Footage
Frisco caboose 1704 was built April of 1973. With the paint still looking that fresh, and the trees fully leaved out, it's reasonable to say the Frisco footage was filmed in the summer of 1973.
Awesome video, but we need a video of just the OLD TRRA
Using background music in these last few videos has been great!
It helps set the mood of reminiscing.
So cool! Brings back fond memories.
Some of these scenes are on a dvd called Vignettes of Missouri Pacific, but they're not remastered.
4:44 1977-78 National Limited my favorite era
I theorize the passenger trains shown are the "National Limited."
Yep. I think so also.
You do not see a lot of published Missouri Pacific footage from the 70s era. Was nice to see!
In your comment above, it's Grand Avenue, not Grant tower. I spent time there with the operator in the 1980s and have the station sign from Grand Ave. which was given to my by a friend at UP. Where is the last clip from with the PC lead passenger train? I'm drawing a blank on a St. Louis area location.
I was probably reading sloppy handwritten notes and thought they said Grant and not Grand. Thanks for the correction.
tone down the japanese music
Hitting "mute" is always an option. Let's just be thankful for the wonderful films RMA brings to YT.
