Ride on-board the cab of Amtrak's Train #4, the "Southwest Chief" from Kansas City to Chicago.
This is a 5-part program. This is part four, Ormonde to Mendota, Illinois.
See the entire line, and listen to the comments of the crews as they point out railroad and historical features along the way. This BNSF line is former Santa Fe trackage to Cameron and former CB&Q rails to Mendota.
This was shot well before Positive Train Control, so you'll see plenty of old signal bridges.
