From April 14th, 2024. Saw this westbound Union Pacific manifest train in downtown Saint Louis while I was down there for Amtrak 21 the southbound Texas Eagle and knew I had to see it again and get a video of it for you all on here. So after I watched it clear Gratiot, I immediately jumped into my wonderful 2023 red ford edge ST and drove back west on Interstate 44 to Kirkwood Amtrak station for it. Here it is passing by the historic Amtrak KWD depot on the Union Pacific Jeff city sub on main track 1 at 8:36 pm on this nice mild mid April Sunday evening bound for Jefferson City Missouri then onto Kansas City Missouri way before Amtrak 316 eastbound was scheduled to arrive from Kansas City going to Saint Louis as it was running well over an hour late. Several of my good friends who come by here to watch trains on Friday and Sunday nights weather permitting were here to see it too. Such a great sight. Its symbol is MASHN (Alton southern east St. Louis gateway yard to Harrington Kansas) manifest train. Its got a pair of Union Pacific AC4400 wide cabs leading elephant style led by UP #6230, then 5 cars back from the head end it had 3 six axle DODX flatcars loaded with 2 army tanks on each one. No clue where out west these 6 unique designed army tanks are headed to. Then it also had another Union Pacific AC4400 wide cab with the American Flag on the side of the front nose as a solo mid train helper engine. Hope you all like this wonderful video by me. Feel free to comment on it too. Enjoy! Jason.
