Engineer Kyle Ellis is getting Amtrak Train 4 back up to 90 MPH on Main Track 1 of the BNSF Marceline Sub. after crossing the Missouri River Bridge at Sibley, running on time out of KCY.
From atop the embankment, we get a glimpse of Amtrak's Southwest Chief running as advertised as it slowly traverses Apache Canyon on a cold and stormy early Autumn afternoon.
Amtrak's Southwest Chief crosses the Ellison Creek Valley with the Veterans leading the Phase I specially painted P42's. BNSF is preparing to replace the Media Trestle this year.
