Amtrak River Runner Compilation - From Illinois to Kirkwood, MO, 11/30/09

Train #313
Unit: P42 #20
Consist: Usual 5 (4 coaches, 1 Lounge/Business) for the Thanksgiving/Christmas seasons
Time Arrived: 3:45p
Time Departed: 4:05p (Yes, I was shocked they worked that fast, too)

Somewhere in Illinois we had to make a stop, and boy was it a treat not only to find rail there, but also the old baggage car, of which I thought it'd be neat to get up here on YouTube. After that, we have the Lincoln Service pulling in, plus various other shots, including the PV car that I initially thought was going to be attached to the River Runner train I would be on that day. Then there's the shot of Metrolink from the 6th floor of the Sheraton Hotel since mother decided to get a room until her train came (which the hotel was very good about, too). From there, it's time for a better shot than the only other one I took of the PoV of boarding a train, this time with no floor shots, and then on to Kirkwood.
