637 views 15 hours ago
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 three, Baring, Missouri to Ormonde, Illinois.
See the entire line, and listen to the comments of the crew as they point out railroad and historical features along the way. This BNSF line is former Santa Fe trackage, and you'll enjoy plenty of 90mph runnineg over the old AT&SF.
This was shot well before Positive Train Control, so you'll see plenty of old Santa Fe signal bridges.
