Filmed 11/2/14 The Heritage Units just keep coming... On Sunday morning, November 2nd, Chris and I went to downtown Kansas City to do some railfanning, we got there early enough to see the #4 Southwest Chief come into Union Station lead by the Phase 4 Heritage P42DC #184. This unit apparently doesn't lead much, so we really wanted to get it coming in. There was a bit of drama involved with this train though. With platform construction underway, only one of the two passenger loading and offloading tracks available. So the #4 had to pull in right behind the 314 Missouri River Runner (the small KC to St. Louis train). Then of course the 4 had to back itself out onto the main before proceeding east to Chicago. As Chris and I were filming, a couple of people can be seen running into the field of view of our cameras and we quickly realized that they missed their train. However, and VERY fortunate for the stragglers, the 4 had to back out and pass by the platform, otherwise, it would have just take off without backing up and those people would have been S.O.L. But the train did stop again and they were able to get on board. So watch the "drama" unfold here as the 184 heads up this train. After this, as my Amtrak vids always come in pairs, the next video for Wednesday should be a special featuring the cabbage car, former F40PH #406. After that, a club video featuring a very special locomotive... if you're a friend on fb, then you've already had a teaser pic of what's coming. If not, well, stay tuned and you'll see. -------------------------------- Heritage Score Board: Union Pacific...
