Filmed 6/24/13 The Rio Grande Heritage was in Kansas City from the 19th - the 26th having some work done on it. I never heard about it, but from what YT user 844Train said, it struck a cow recently and needed some cosmetic work and then they also did some mechanical work on it as well during its stay. This was the first time I've seen this unit and it's the one I've been wanting to see more than all the others as I'm also a big fan of the Rio Grande. So, my first impressions... she needs a bath, and some paint on the sunshade over the Conductor's window. But, on the other hand, Rio Grande's power was never that clean, so the grit and grime on 1989 seems almost appropriate. Also we drove by Knoche and filmed their service facility too. There was not as much going on there as I've usually seen. We did go by Mid-America Car too, and for whatever reason, the footage that I filmed has vanished. but again, it looked like a slow day for them also. Still had a bunch of the CITI GEVOs there, and the Rock Island Es were there too. But yeah, no clue what happened to the film. Heritage Count to date (I know, small list. But oh well, I'm working on it): Union Pacific - 1982 (filmed and photographed) - 1988 (saw it unexpectedly, no camera) - 1989 (filmed and photographed) - 1996 (saw it unexpectedly, no camera) Amtrak - 66 (filmed) - 156 (filmed) - 184 (saw it unexpectedly, no camera) Norfolk Southern - None yet, tried getting my first (8105) this past week, but missed. Lastly, Chris, thanks for all the help lately. I do appreciate it. ---------------------------- deviantART page: 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/
