Almost missed it!

Several railfans are gathered in La Plata, MO to catch the return of the Talgo set. It's almost blocked by a westbound manifest, however the rail Gods smiled upon them and delivered. Looks like the train was loaded too!

I just love how well behaved everyone at La Plata is. No Ashland shenanigans here! You stay BEHIND the line!

[@Muttleytech]

The Talgo on its way back to the Pacific Northwest. We see them often here as they are a great solution for speed in curves as it tilts into them without much speed loss. You can view them by typing in "Amtrak Cascades".

[@lelandrogers1078]

They came to see the Amtrak Talgo set go by and they almost missed seeing it because the freight came by just before it got there. A few seconds later and they would have missed seeing the Amtrak train because the freight would have blocke their view.

[@PlaneBoy2520]

For the people who don’t understand the video the reason why it’s called almost missed it is because everyone was watching for that second train to pass but it was almost blocked by the first train.

[@papakoho8184]

Those Milwaukee Talgos are popping up all over the place. Wish they would have stayed here in WI.

[@darthcreaper8173]

That's cool to see the returning Talgo. In Washington, however, there's Amtrak Cascades, so I commonly see Talgos.

[@Whisperi0r]

It is such a juxtaposition to see normal Amtrak locomotives pulling Talgo cars.

[@mikemoreno4469]

That is a Talgo!! Used to see them a lot in Spain. They were THE luxury train in Spain before the advent of the AVE.

[@AtTheCrossingProductions]

That Talgo is coming my direction soon enough! It will replace the Mt. Adams set on the Cascades, which derailed in December. The charger is mostly gonna be leased here as well.

[@dathyr1]

Cool, thanks for the almost missed video of that luxury train. take care.

[@tallslimguy]

wow - that first train was as long as the Mississippi River 😳 okay maybe not quite but by our standards it was looooong - Greetings from the U.K. 🇬🇧

[@specialed6357]

That was actually a short one for us. But yes, I've noticed all the european one's I've seen are very short. I'm not that interested in passenger rail, but what I've seen of our amtrak, they are usually short as well though.

[@thomaspalmer1019]

I must say, this video is even better than the last one of the Amtrak Talgo train, because we almost had a meet! And the freight train even had a CSX unit as well! Thank you very much for sharing!

[@slicaltimistic1]

Awwww. I see now. The new SC-44 passenger train. If the BNSF came 30 seconds later, they'll block the view of the new train coming from the other track from the railfans. That'll be a very big disappointment. I see why they almost miss it. Make since now.

This was before the station rehab last year. You can see the difference in the view you got then, compared to now. You could see the people much better back then. The new camera is in a little different position and must have a different lens with a different focal length, more of a wide angle. Can't see the passengers as well.

[@TheKeenTribe]

Is there an app or website where you can track trains in realtime / GPS?

[@specialed6357]

I too wondered and recently looked into it. Yes there are websites, but from what I've seen, only outside of the U.S. or rarely in the U.S. (or they are just schedules) at certain locations and for passenger trains only. I mostly just wanted to know if there was a daily approximate time schedule, even if I had to keep a log and see if there was a pattern at all. For me I live by CN tracks and was only able to find a schedule of when the local train crews went on duty, from where, and their destinations. So that helped a little to provide a window time frame for local trains cause you have to factor in delays, travel time, other train traffic volume, track maintenance, etc... But that did not help at all for when the big trains come through. But then I kinda discovered an answer I was looking for and apparently what rail fans were using. There is a system called ATCS where by using a computer program and a software defined radio (like a police scanner but connected into your computer) you can decode the local radio signals to see the track rail light settings for sections of track (the ones trains obey whether to stop, slow down, or continue moving) and then you can, I'm assuming tell where trains are near you and their direction. I have not been able to find anything yet if people share their ATCS info online, so if you are looking for info other than nearby you, (depending on your radio, antenna setup, location, etc...) you may only get info from a few miles away. There is information online including how to set it up, where to download the free software, etc... I'm a radio and scanner hobbyist and was planning on getting a S.D.R. radio anyways.
