CORRECTION:  The video shows this train was filmed on the 18th, it was actually Sunday the 19th.  I forgot to change the date from the previous video.  :D

All right, seems like my Amtrak videos always come in pairs.  This time is no exception.  The day before, on the 18, Chris and I were up in the Atherton, MO area getting the BNSF SD40-2 leading the #4.  The very next day, the #4 goes by with Amtrak's Ph IV Heritage unit on point.

For whatever reason, this unit rarely ever leads when it isn't working alone.  I actually saw this unit on the Missouri River Runner's 314/313 a few years ago, but didn't have my camera of course.  Since the Runners are single unit train, it of course lead, but when it's consisted with something, it rarely gets the front spot.  

People here in the KC area were REALLY hoping to get this one. Especially since it was on point of a less common three unit consist with GE's classic B32-8WH, this train not only had a a heritage unit on point, but a classic frieght-turned-passenger locomotive on hand as well.

Here is Chris' video, have a look:
