Amtrak SW Chief Between Topeka and Lecompton, Ks.

Eastbound train #4 between Topeka and Lecompton, Ks. Train was exactly 30 minutes late. Lead locomotive was #204, trailing was #89. I appologise for the CRAPPY video work. I didn't get the zoom back in, and I pinched the lead locomotive.....Thanks!...Doc

No one cares about the zooming, it's still a good vid. Nice place it looks like. Like the backround of the trees.

This area has large foothills running through it

with a huge abundance of all kinds of trees. Most people think of Kansas as a flat, barren wilderness. This part of Kansas is quite pretty....Thanks!...Doc

#204 has an awesome horn

[docnelsontrain]

All the Genesis P-42's that Amtrak uses for road locomotives have the same horn. Nathan Airchime K5LA. Since all 5 horn bells face forward; these horns get a lot of damage in the way of weather, bird strikes, and debris. This naturally alters the pitch. Some, like #61, sound like a dying ostrich. But, they all start out sounding nice like this.

Is this on that "Scenic River Rd"? Or N 2190 Rd in Douglas County?
