    Whew! One of the most interesting, unique, well-edited rail videos, I've seen in a while. A very fine example of this new generation of work.

    Pretty cool video. I was the one running the KCT switch engine.

    Awesome.. I love the coal cars and auto racks running the exact same speed. Never seen anything like that before.

    I tested concrete for the roundhouse conversion. That was a long time ago. I worked for an engineering company in Lenexa.

    This is the tracks the trains use that run from the Argentine in Kansas city Kansas when leaving the old SantaFe Fueling Yard where I am at and live. Great video.

      These tracks run beside the river to this point. The only crossing tracks is in the West bottoms from the Kansas city Kansas uptown near central avenue.

    The mixture of locomotive sounds, the clickity clack of the wheels, and the horns blowing, add the whine of jet engines from the planes flying overhead. It's the sounds of progress in action.

    Is this location "Santa Fe Junction"?

    What bridge are you standing on in the beginning of the video? It's a great location.

    • @dirtthunder1638
      @dirtthunder1638 5 років тому

      The bridge he is on is only used by MOW now and is accessible from South West Bvd. It used to go to a restaurant on the bluff that was closed in the 1980's do to ground shifting.

    Considering going to Kansas for some railfanning.... at the 40 second mark, where exactly are you recording from?

  • @dirtthunder1638
    @dirtthunder1638 5 років тому +1

    It was the KCT roundhouse. Not KCS's.

  • @98755785
    @98755785 5 років тому +1

    Is this a triple cross of tracks? I thought there was only one place in the USA where that happened

    • @SantaFeAllTheWay
      @SantaFeAllTheWay  5 років тому +1

      The highest bridge is relatively new, so perhaps that's why you were unaware of this. However, while the three levels are near each other, they don't cross at the same point like the famous crossing in Richmond Virginia.

    • @98755785
      @98755785 5 років тому +1

    Where does the BNSF coal going south go thru, Jeff City or Maybe Springfield and what tracks would BNSF use to go to La Plata.

    • @dirtthunder1638
      @dirtthunder1638 5 років тому +1

      The BNSF coal and UP auto rack are heading south on the former Frisco and MKT lines that split apart at Paola KS and go south to Ok and Texas. The flyover you see is what most of the trains going north on the former SF use going through La Plata.

    • @UNIONPACIFIC3606

      @SantaFeAllTheWay  7 років тому +1

      A whole lot closer than to Arizona. But I wouldn't walk it.
