Amtrak Southwest Cheif Loading Passengers At Lawrence, Kansas0516091

Train #4 arrived at the Lawrence station right on time at 5:50 AM this morning. The lead locomotive was #197, and trailing was #187. The crew was friendly, and the K5LA was beautiful! Oh...When you're out catching trains in other than daylight conditions, be mindful about your surroundings. There are a lot of "crack babies" and other lowlifes out on the street that look at you and your equipment as their next "rock." I was followed this morning by one such "Gangsta" and his bevy of two little teenage "ho's." You can see the white Malibu at the far right on the video looking toward the station. I conducted myself like I OWNED that station....I DID! He decided that he'd look for easier game somewhere else. He was lucky too!! If he would have forced the issue with me; he might well have gotten his very last surprise this morning. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE FILMING!!.....THANKS!!...Doc n' Kelly

Gorgeous, well-tuned K5LA! He had some K5LA competition nearby, from the sounds of it.

Be safe out there!  Trains aren't the only dangerous thing we encounter, unfortunately.
