That first clip brought back so many memories. I used to watch those F40Cs fly by when I was a kid.

Soo Line GP38-2s had the interesting hood feature of pull-up hinged covers over the engine somewhat similar to the pull-up doors on an EMD switch engine. This allowed cylinder maintenance without lifting the hood off. It’s a great feature to model as each door has two handles plus there are four lifting lugs running down the center of the hood. The toppers are the cylindrical exhaust pipes that are only about twelve inches above the hood. There is a square plate where the tubes come up and there is a gap between the sides of the tubes and the hood. Put all that together and it makes a very distinct model.

I live in Davenport, Iowa just two blocks from the old Milwaukee Road mainline to Kansas City. It became the Soo Line in the mid 80s. Then it belonged to the I&M Rail Link, until it was purchased by the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern. Later, it became the property of the Iowa, Chicago, and Eastern RR. Now it all belongs to the Canadian Pacific. Lots of changes, but it was fun seeing all the different railroads go by along the river. Between mins 4-6, that is the LaFarge Cement Plant just west of Davenport.

I remember KCS pushing cars up to the Folgers Coffee plant. Very cool. FYI. At the 32.40 minute point, it shows the crew at mile marker number 1 for the Kansas City Southern Line. It's gone now. It's become a upscale apartment bldg area.

If you're talking about that pop pop pop that might sound like short bursts of air being released that's the air tank pressure release on the locomotive IIRC

@railwayfan This is the northeast end of the _West Bottoms_ area of Kansas City, Missouri. The videographer appears to have been standing under Woodswether Road overpass with the camera facing southwest. The silver through-truss bridge above the train was removed when the gooseneck rail junction was recently modernized. The train is heading toward Union Pacific's (former Missouri Pacific) Neff Yard located 3 miles east of this location in an area called the _East Bottoms_ . By 26:52, the camera has panned to the northeast. The westbound train on the left has just entered UP's (former MP) _Falls City Subdivision_ which follows the west bank of the Missouri River north to Omaha, Nebraska. The train on the bridge passing from right-to-left is traveling northbound across Hannibal Bridge, which is a double tracked swing bridge over the Missouri River. It connects the West Bottoms to North Kansas City, Missouri. BNSF's (former Chicago Burlington Quincy) Murray Yard is about 1/2 mile north of Hannibal Bridge in North Kansas City.

Location is called Broadway on Union Pacific. The SP train is on a track called the incline, while the tracks going up and over the Broadway control point is called the Gooseneck. You'd get run off down there today where he was standing, but you can see it all from above easily today. goo.gl/maps/sACbkBSK5nw
