Filmed 10/04 & 06/15 This was all filmed the same day we got the NS Penn Central unit on the Marceline Sub. After we broke off from the BNSF, Shane and I went to get some lunch and Chris had family stuff to deal with. After eating, we headed over to UP's Coffeyville Sub at Leeds and hung out there for a while. It was slow and only got a few trains, but later we met back up with Chris at Independence Station on UP's Sedalia Sub to get the Rio Grande heritage unit. I'll skip the part just before getting to the station Shane had a little accident, but we got to the station in time to see Amtrak's 316 show up on it's way from Kansas City to St. Louis. We then waited, and waited and waited some more for the 1989 to go by, but it never did. So we decided to risk it and go try to find it. While on our way, Shane had to break off and head home, but Chris and I kept going. We came to a neat out of the way overpass and sure enough, it came around the bend moments later. We had already decided to chase it, so after the locomotives went by, we cut the filming short and went after it. Sadly, there was far too much traffic for us to get again except for the crappy clip from my car at the intersection of 35th and Noland. Not a money shot by any means, but I did get to film (badly) the locomotives going by again. Cant' win them all. Then a couple days later (I incorrectly said the next day in the video), while I was leaving work, there was an incident on the other side of the tracks at Cargo Largo. Some woman from out of town with Minnesota(?) plates that read "Sgt Pppr" or something similar. She forgot to set her emergency brake,with a kid in a car seat, the Bug rolled backward down the hill and right onto the tracks. Sedalia Sub is one of the area's busiest lines into Kansas City, MO, and this mishap shut the line down till they cleared of the car, so no Bugs were squashed at this time. :D No idea what coming up next for Sunday, but I'll get something for you all. See you next time!
