Heres some vintage 1989 St Louis railroading first off we have a Northbound Amtrak train in East St Louis,IL headed for Chicago. Then we have a ICG caboose hop with a couple SD40 locomotives. Thats my late friend John Chantiz blowing the Nathan M3 at the light power. Then we see Norfolk Southern Northbound freight at Granite City, IL. Next up is a Southbound Amtrak train with the class F40PH # 200 ! Then a Southbound NS freight train with a nice P5 shows up. Next we go to Downtown St Louis where we watch a MKT train pass by with a GP39-2 and a couple GP38's. Then we see the same Southbound Amtrak with the # 200 again. At the time this was made I was just begining my career with Amtrak as a student Locomotive Engineer and my friend John knew a guy who was the diesel foreman for the MKT and he let me play with a set of 3 light engines for a while. I think I was only about 26 years old at the time.
