Western Railroad Discussion > !today backwards running 4# of ShotsDate: 03/03/15 20:12 !today backwards running 4# of Shots Author: santafe199 “And the hits just keep on coming…” As if the momentum-gathering threat of rerouting wasn’t enough, Amtrak’s beleaguered Southwest Chief seems to be particularly snake-bit the last few days. Hopelessly late has been a recent moniker. And if it isn’t some ‘foreign’ color up front pinch-hitting for sick power, it’s a normal (& healthy) consist bouncing off a dern BNSF derailment; having to retrace its steps (backward) to Chicago. Sheesh! Can't win for losing...
1. 2. & 3. AMTK 171 leads a VERY late train #4 into the station stop at the former Santa Fe passenger station Newton, KS. Amtrak’s station agent here had 4 sacks of groceries to hand up to the steward. It seems the dining car was running short on a few items… Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/03/15 20:16 by santafe199.

Train #4 is approaching the 12th Street crossing on the east side of town with the famous “ROSS” elevator as a backdrop. If I read the name on their office door correctly this huge complex is now operated by ‘Ardent Industries’.
6. The consist-backward is lit-perfectly as the train off-rolls into the East-north in the day-mid sunlight… (6 photo taken in Newton, KS on March 3, 2015) Looking for thanks!

Where is the Sightseer Lounge? Fun trip without one. Not only is it a crap shoot if your power will break down, but also if the equipment you are suppose to have turns up.
