Filmed 11/23/14 @ 12:26pm So I met up with Shane (thebreakman17) and his grandfather, Bob, at Kansas City's Union Station that morning for some railfanning, and one of the spots we hit is the BN Crossing, which is just to the West of the station. This is one of the busiest spots in the city as almost all of UP's and BNSF's trains move through this location. The best part is, you can get on a bridge that is only used for railfanning and the railroads to get access down below. It also not uncommon to have up to 4 or 5 trains moving through all at the same time. The train in this video actually "trapped" us on the bridge and area we were filming, so we were stuck till it cleared. But it was worth it, a brand new SD70AH on point and a brand new C45AH as the DPU pulling a loaded unit grain train... and holy cow it was slow! Anyway, here is the link to Shane's video of this train, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N0eCN4TErw It's the same spot, just a different angle. Have a look at his channel too. It's not just for railfanning, but for modeling as well. He does N scale and is fantastic at sound equipped DCC installs. Yeah, he's the one that worked my Genesis Big Boy over. Keep your eyes peeled, I have another Heritage Unit video in the works. Plus some from an outing with my buddy Chris up in the Eton/Atherton area. Don't have anything from the club in the works yet, didn't go last Saturday due to snow and ice... though it never came. So hopefully this Saturday I'll get something filmed. Like always, stay tuned for more! OH, and I'm quickly closing in on 2000 subscribers... that is awesome! Thanks everyone, it's GREATLY appreciated. ---------------------------- Chris' Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/844Train Shane's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/thebrakeman17 Spencer's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/NS8010 Vinny's Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/bnsf6951 ---------------------------- My Stuff: facebook (Railfan Jason) - https://www.facebook.com/JasonRS.UP9229 facebook (Eastern Jackson County Mainliners) - https://www.facebook.com/groups/EJCMRailroadClub/ deviantART (UP9229) - http://up9229.deviantart.com/ Train club account: - http://www.youtube.com/user/EJCMRailroadClub/featured EJCM website: - http://easternjacksoncountymainliners.com/ Yahoo group: - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Freelanced_Model_Railroads/
