VID07162011.AVI Eastbound Southwest Chief Train #4 At Wakarusa, Kansas

Train #4 Was around 4 hours late this morning, so I went South of Topeka to look for an interesting spot to videotape it, that I hadn't visited before. I found Wakarusa, a tiny hamlet South of Topeka about 10 miles. There still is an operating US Post Office here, and a great place to watch a great train! Train #4 was led by locomotive #171 this morning, with road # 51 trailing. Nice looking train, and some nice horn music in a beautiful spot!....THANKS FOR WATCHING....Doc
