Trains Around St. Louis in the 1970s

[@upking9080]

The Frisco meet was shot in Valley Park, MO. The Frisco train crossing the bridge was taken in Crescent, MO.

Awesome Footage

[@Tom-xe9iq]

Love the railroad scenes!

Frisco caboose 1704 was built April of 1973. With the paint still looking that fresh, and the trees fully leaved out, it's reasonable to say the Frisco footage was filmed in the summer of 1973.

Wonderful images. All the colors of the Midwest roads. As always, thank you!

Awesome video, but we need a video of just the OLD TRRA

[@JosephMusgrove]

Using background music in these last few videos has been great! It helps set the mood of reminiscing.

4:44 1977-78 National Limited my favorite era

[@chrisg7160]

So cool! Brings back fond memories.

[@JosephMusgrove]

You do not see a lot of published Missouri Pacific footage from the 70s era. Was nice to see!

I theorize the passenger trains shown are the "National Limited."

[@LAPnumber4]

Yep. I think so also.

Some of these scenes are on a dvd called Vignettes of Missouri Pacific, but they're not remastered.

In your comment above, it's Grand Avenue, not Grant tower. I spent time there with the operator in the 1980s and have the station sign from Grand Ave. which was given to my by a friend at UP. Where is the last clip from with the PC lead passenger train? I'm drawing a blank on a St. Louis area location.

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

I was probably reading sloppy handwritten notes and thought they said Grant and not Grand. Thanks for the correction.

tone down the japanese music

Hitting "mute" is always an option. Let's just be thankful for the wonderful films RMA brings to YT.
