Thank you for an experience I've secretly wanted all my life. As a child, the train was a family member. And the roundhouse is a cherished memory. Needless to say, when the carriages were parked for cleaning and the box lunches were given to us poor kids, that was often the only meal of the day. Homeland security makes hanging around a train station these days a no-no. My how times have changed!

That is some smooth track work as your unit hardly swayed. Neat seeing a double track mainline with some miles to it, especially considering that back in the 80s the Class 1 railroads were bent on single tracking as much of their mainlines as the could.

more track should be like this video. it's also very busy. see how shiny the rails are.

An even earlier cherished memory involving trains is this. To get into Sherman, TX., from White Wright, which was said to be at that time "the country," the poor hitched a ride aboard the caboose of the Katy which came down into Texas from Missouri. That was my first experience with train "travel."

Nice green countyside! Great view of the windshield wiper! Never thought to check aim? How does the engineer know thathe first grade crossing was "Quiet Zone"? Doesn't know how to time and sound a proper grade crossing horn sequence? Why no horn for the non signaled crossing at 15:45? 19:26 Why horn AFTER the crossing? 26:25 no warning for any idiots crossing through the train? Expensive cuts through all that rock.

No, he's right. There are significant qualifications and procedures required for a head-end pass. NORAC, AMT and the FRA are very explicit in that regard. If anyone decided to investigate this video, the conductor/engineer in question during this ride could very well find themselves called out on the carpet. No joke, Amtrak takes this stuff VERY seriously.
