This is sort of a companion and sequel to the "Chicagoland in Film" video I posted last month. Largely composed from the Red Moser collection, the first segment details his trip on the final B&O trains from DC to Cincinnati to St Louis. Then we have scenes from both Red and myself, in and around St Louis including Union Station both pre- and post-Amtrak, TRRA and the Manufacturers Railway. I had some Phil Elder clips of the Midwest I put together for part 3, then the final part is Red's return from the Chicago trip in 1974 via St Louis and then to Harrisburg. Sounds are from my video collection with a few assists from Arkay Records' diesel recordings. Thanks also to Walt Berko of Railroad Video for the Phil Elder clips.
