Filmed 07/22/16 Here's a quick video from a very long road trip Chris and I took to get this unit leading one of the last roadrailer trains before they are permanently cancelled. We ended up 3/4 of the way across the state of Missouri. He came over to my place around 4pm and we headed east. The train was way ahead of schedule so we weren't able to chase it into Kansas City like we had intended. We had to get on the other side of Moberly , MO to get this because it was being held there till space opened up for it in Voltz Yard south of Liberty, MO. This is why the video is so short, our chase wasn't very long. We couldn't get ahead of it with all the traffic through Moberly, and the second clip is where it stopped. I couldn't get set up fast enough as it was already there. So, what you see is what you I got. What makes this even more special, is that this train was on the old Wabash line. So, the NS Wabash heritage unit, on the old Wabash line, pulling one of the last roadrailers. I may not have gotten much of it on film, but I got what I needed to notch off another of NS' heritage units. We got back into Blue Springs after 10pm, so it was a long evening for us, but we had a good time, that's what counts. Fir Sunday's video, I'm not sure what will be posted that day. I had planned on posting more from the Central Iowa Railroad Club, but since my car broke down I couldn't go up there. So I ended up going to my club Saturday, however I didn't run much of anything, ended up working on the new addition to my yard. So, there's a good chance I'll be posting some railfanning footage this Sunday instead of the model stuff. Just have to see how it goes. Thanks for watching and see you next time!
