Filmed 11/14&15/16 So I found out Monday in the early afternoon that Amtrak's Phase IV heritage unit #184 was working St. Louis' Missouri River Runners (the 311/316). St. Louis has the WB 311, that arrives in Kansas City, MO at Union Station around 3pm. After the train is off loaded, they turn int around over at Santa Fe Junction, turning the train into the EB 316 headed back to St. Louis. Kansas City has the opposite, the 314/313. The EB 314 leaves KC in the morning, heading to St. Louis, once there, it too is turned around where it becomes the WB 313, heading back to KC. I get to see the 314 go by work every morning as it goes through Independence, MO, but I rarely see the two St' Louis trains. The 311 goes by about an hour and twenty minutes after I'm off work at 1pm. Then the 316 goes back by around 4:30pm. This is the first video where I have both St. Louis trains back to back. Monday I went to Independence Station to get the 316 at it's stop there. Then I stuck around Independence after I got off work Tuesday to film a 311 run by at Cottage Street as it approached the station. As for the the main reason for this video (the locomotive), this is only the second time I've seen this heritage unit on the River Runners. First time was about 4 years ago when it was on the 314/313 for about a week. Normally the Runners are assigned units in the 50-69 number block and the Heritage Unit #66 in the Phase 2 scheme had been a common sight. But that was before an 18 wheeler pulled out in front of it and pretty much killed it. Broken frame from what I understand. So if that's the case, it's off to the scrapper for it. Other heritage units, the 156 and 822 have also spent some time on these trains, however, I've never seen the 145 on them. In fact, I've still never seen the 145 in person. That's the one that for one reason or another, has eluded me. Some day though... I'll bag it. Anyway, that's all for now, Hoping to have an HO video up for Sunday. So like always, stay tuned, there's more to come!
