I don't believe the quad cities have one because they don't have good enough track structure or a y to turn it around after all that would bout have to be a turn around point (at least on BN track) Fort Madison has one and if you think little bitty quincy you should see little bitty laplata, mo a town of less than a thousand has an amtrak depot
This is a very good catch of the Carl Sandburg. I haven't been to Quincy in a long time, which makes me wonder...
When you took this video, was the train at the Quincy station or was it elsewhere? I know the station is at Wisman & 30th, but this doesn't look very familiar.
Also, when the Carl Sandburg & Illinois Zephyr go to Quincy, where do they get parked until it is time to start using them again?
The train was stopped at the Quincy station. I took this video from across the street on the east side of the station, so I could get a better view of the train departing. The IZ & CS are both parked in the BNSF West Quincy, MO yard, on the other side of the Mississippi River, before they head back to Chicago.
I wonder which politician managed to get a run to little Quincy when others could not get a run to the 300,000 population Quad Cities area of Illinois and Iowa :)
How did you get a Cybershot that could zoom during a video? I've gone through 2 different versions and neither one of them had the ability to zoom while recording.
My camrea is a Cybershot DSC-H7. My guess is you have a simpler camera that doesn't have the capability to zoom while recording. I think all of the more expensive models have this feature.
