Iowa Pacific Holdings High Iron Travel special Amtrak 53

Iowa Pacific Holdings High Iron Travel Special, St Louis-Quincy, MO traveling on former Burlington, Frisco lines that have not seen a regular scheduled passenger train in many, many years. I first got it in Merriam Kansas on BNSF's Ft. Scott Sub then chased it down to BN-Xing. The next morning on it's departure from KC I went down to Old Union Depot Interlocking where I got my last shot of it as it headed for Quincy, MO. Enjoy!

That's awesome, pretty similar to the train they ran on Pan Am a few years ago. I like the end, "ho-hooo!"

lionel0824 Thanks for watching Trevor! Yeah I'm guessing he knew some people on it.

Nice video, interesting seeing a genesis lead such a diverse group of old passenger cars.

[@MPHTrains]

bradstrains Thanks for watching Brad!

Wow, thats a nice video! Is that a safe area to film?

[@MPHTrains]

Jaw Tooth Thank you! I've never had a problem filming down there, but I don't usually stand where I was. There is a park behind from where I was standing I usually go to.

Very nice Mason! You mind if I link this video to mine when I get it posted? We got it coming out of Avondale this morning, then chased it out to Richmond.

[@MPHTrains]

***** Thank you Jason! Sure go ahead.

Awesome catch! Btw I should be at KC by next week (likely the 8th or 9th) and I'm most likely gonna stay there for about a week. Most of the times I'm gonna be hanging around at CP Bravo along the BNSF Ft Scott Sub since my aunt lives close to there, while a few times I'll railfan at the Union Station and maybe some other places if I get a chance. If possible, are you gonna be available to railfan around those times?

[@MPHTrains]

***** Thanks! I'll have to see whats going on then. I can't go out during the evenings since I work then, but during the day I might be able to get out if I'm not busy then. Weekends I'm pretty free.

So it went on the Madill sub? Nice video!

[@MPHTrains]

DFWTrains Thanks!

[@DFWTrains]

mrnewshoes Np. But did it go on the Madill sub?

[@MPHTrains]

DFWTrains It took BNSF's Brookfeild sub to Quincy, MO the next day. I'm not sure what it took out of St. Louis.

[@DFWTrains]

mrnewshoes Ok. Thanks. I'm near the Madill sub a lot and it would have been cool if I could have seen it.
