Amtrak #1 Leads Train No. 4 East, 11-2-08

Quite an unusual night for Amtrak today. They are due into Hutch @ 2:21AM but with daylight savings starting at 2AM they actually got into town at 1:21AM. Because of this they had to sit in town for an hour and wait for 2:21 to depart. I went up to the engines after I found out what was going on and talked to the conductor, he got a drink out of the vending machine and said they probably held Train #3 in Kansas City.

After I left the locomotives I decided to go to Halstead St. and catch it going at a fast clip, but due to railfans luck a Westbound UP Rerouted stacktrain had to come through on the siding and block my view of it, but cool either way.

Enjoy!

It was so rapid and close together it sounded like a danger sign but maybe there were multiple crossings?
