  • A place that I have been wanting to come up to for a long while, the Virtual Railfan hotspot at La Plata, MO home to the BNSF Southern Transcon! My dad and I took a “father and son” road trip, and this was the main event along with a little time spent in St. Louis. My goal was to get 24 hours at the station, and BNSF definitely didn't let me down. From 70 MPH Z trains, to beast mode intermodals, and to some of the best power consists, a grand total of 73 trains was recorded! Another visit will be planned in the near future! This is by far the best trackside adventure I've had in a long while!
    I hope you enjoy this nonstop TWO AND A HALF HOUR action during my time in La Plata!
    *Keep in mind some info displayed in this video may not be accurate.. I don’t know much when it comes to BNSF.. But I just made educated guesses to some of these trains, along with some help from others in the Virtual Railfan live stream comment section on UA-cam (Thank you!!).
