Filmed 01/01,03/17 This is my first railfan outing of 2017. Shane heard from someone else that this unit was on the St. Louis half of the River Runners and that meant a couple afternoon trips to the Sedalia Sub for me. This is the first time I've seen this unit, I know it's been through the KC area before, but I don't recall seeing it on the Runners. It would make sense that they have this unit on the St. Louis half of the Runners at this time, because the NHL's 2017 Winter Classic is in St. Louis right now. First spot is the Independence Station as the eastbound 316 pulls in after leaving Kansas City about 20 minutes before. It was on it's way back to St. Louis where it will be turned around (becoming the westbound 311) and then get restocked, fueled and serviced before leaving St. Louis the next morning on its way back to KC. Yesterday on the 3rd, in the second clip in this video, is the WB 311. I stuck around in Independence after getting off work so I could get it on it's way into Kansas City. I was going to include the morning KC - St. L. River Runner (the EB 314), but that didn't work out too well. But I did get an interesting meet of sort with the 311 and a MOW vehicle. Got both of their horns even. Anyway, that's all I have for now. See you next time!
