Kansas City Trains October 1992

A video I thought I already uploaded mostly taken at Santa Fe Jct. in October 1992. The portion at the beginning is on the joint NS-ATSF tracks at Henrietta, MO. There are also some shots at the 74th St. crossing in Kansas City, KS as well as Santa Fe's Argentine yard.

Kansas City before the rebuild and resurgence. The 90s was a dreary time for kansas city, I remember it well

@@Little_Donut1 I personally have only been to KC in the past decade, and it's one of my favorite places to visit. I was surprised how blighted the union station area looked in these videos.

Fantastic scenes. Even though it might be somewhat primitive by today’s videography standards, there is a treasure trove of video of ATSF consists at the peak of the company’s existence. We’ll worth watching. Note the satellite dish on the rail grinder train! What a life. NFL football every Sunday.

The “A.Y tower” footage at night was fantastic with the lightning off in the distance. Very nostalgic. All the other class ones did the same tests.. they just folded their train orders into paper planes and threw them out the window…. Leave it to Santa Fe to show up with a fancy model plane on a stick..

This is crazy good quality for how old it is.

[@Steelers2841]

nice to see the whole roadrailer as it goes on those are classics

[@zachariassiefker9249]

Nice video! Absolutely love the Santa Fe paint schemes and the Santa Fe and Rio Grande EMD GP30’s as well!

Amazing to see the locations where I normally film trains looked like in the 90s, especially 74th street where the trackside wires are gone and more trees and bushes have grown, hiding where more sidings used to be the shot at 44:14 at Santa Fe Junction can still be possible today since BNSF built an overpass and thus changed the layout of the junction and the roads around it

Wonderful images of yesteryear in KC.

[@orangecactusproductions2144]

That MOW train looks like something out of Mad Max.

[@Modelwarshipsdotcom]

Great coverage of the fallen flag era. You captured some classic locos in action wearing some long gone color schemes. Thanks for sharing.

[@shaunsstuff1249]

Loving these old usa train footage!

[@tommythomason6187]

Amazing action. Gateway Western - nice locomotive scheme.

[@daarendurga2369]

That maintenance train is one of the weirdest, dreariest things I've ever seen

[@TouchoftheBrushModelWeathering]

All that classic power!!

[@matthouseholder6928]

Wow this is the first time I have ever seen a slug with a satellite dish on top.

[@kevloo6078]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Great content, thanks for posting!

[@rexjamison2170]

excellent

[@dasbubba841]

Man, Kansas City looked so dirty and depressing back then. The city has come a long way since then.

[@geac9100]

At 12:45 what was Santa Fe trying to figure out, I have no clue.

[@kruegdr]

That is an anemometer to help calculate wind resistance. The train was testing locomotive lube sticks.

[@RLKRAILTIES]

22:10 Helium Tank Cars in 1992?

[@gerardjewels5259]

12:30 What is that attached to the unit?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

Looks like an anemometer to take wind speed measurements.

Those light maintenance platforms were great for up close railfanning as kids......great memories.....until the C.N cops showed up. They were very humorless to say the least......

[@epacm50]

It is great to see some slugs on this video.

[@JessicaWinn-ho4fg]

Where in kc was this?

[@Modelwarshipsdotcom]

All over, but mostly Santa Fe jct.

[@train_chicken6143]

[@americanrf5925]

I love classic engine, when dash 9 take over USA they retired and scrapped bcuz they think dash 9 is very efficiency than dash 8 and dash 9 just take over conrail in 1999 thats why i hate dash 9 and dash 8 is better i hope they back to services and dash 9 is scrapped.
