- Kansas City is home to some intense railroad action split between BNSF, Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern, Canadian Pacific and Norfolk Southern. On a return trip home to Toledo from Denver, CO in the Summer of 2019, I stopped over in Kansas City to see what had changed since my last visit 10 years before. Traffic was rather brisk at BN Crossing (AKA Santa Fe Junction) during the day, but a maintenance curfew on the Ft. Scott Sub and the Kansas City Terminal ‘Gooseneck’ did not provide much action at West Bottoms, though an evening visit did turn out quite eventful. Lots of action and meets at both locations and a variety of power and railroads are seen including Kansas City Terminal.
This is big time railroading at its finest. If you’ve never had the chance to visit Kansas City, I highly recommend you take the opportunity to do so in the future!
Enjoy, subscribe and thanks for watching!!
I love Kansas city railfanning
spectacular place
The good old West bottoms..kansas City the best railroad hub in America..its dead in the middle south..north..east..west..miss all the old railroad that are gone..1970 Kansas City what a treat...25 or more railroad s..🗽🌅🏣🏫😍😍thanks..
If I saw this on a model train layout I would say its unrealistically "busy". I'd be wrong. Great video of this fascinating area.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the comment!
Wow KC is the most bad ass rail fanning spot there is!
Very nice! Glad to see great footage from my city!
It was nice to be back after 10 years. It's interesting to see the parts that have changed and the parts that have stayed the same.
Thank you so much for this video....brings back many memories for me....I grew up in Olathe , KS and I remember many times passing over tracks driving I-35 approaching KC as well as along I-70.Later on, passing over the Argentine Freight Yard driving to Kansas City International Airport.My hometown of Olathe had two sets of tracks....on the west side were the Santa Fe tracks and the east side were the Frisco tracks, and occasionally we saw MKT and Katy trains as well. Again, thanks for the great video, keep `em coming!
Hi, everybody railfans! This is amazing and breathtaking railroad junction. It's so multifunction and trains moving into all directions. I'm obsessed with it. I'm from Russia. Be happy everybody!
this scene is beautifully done
@@heatherallan2695 , I think the same
Nice Video! Thumbs Up👍👍👍
How well the trains on these lines in Kansas City are filmed, some on the bridge!
8:40 High Hood Geep in the 2020's is a good catch
Fantastic footage
🇮🇳👍👍👍
Great coverage sir..
nice video. thanks
28:00 Seems like the pigeons "know" a grain car when they see one. Interesting behavior!
Some of them actually stayed on once the train started moving.

Kansas City has to have more railroad junctions/yards per capita than any other city in the US. When I explore using google maps I get lost immediately. It would be cool to make a video detailing the railroad landscape of this amazing city. Like where all the major yards and junctions for each railroad are located and how they are connected. And how trains typically navigate through. Fascinating stuff.
As a BNSF engineer in Northern California, I have junction envy. Our busiest junction is probably Stockton, which is maybe 1/8th the size of just the bottom level of Santa Fe junction.
I'm next to Eastman Chemical on the Longview TX BNSF Sub
Great video my friend,be safe.
i love train spotting
location of where u viewed the junction ?
The W. 27th Street overpass off of Southwest Blvd is where I spent most of my time.
Well I assume those little pipe railings on the approach to the Highline Bridge are not intended to catch a train if it derails. Great video!
i live in it, but it never works out for me when i visit these places.
who loves up
Don't really care for the KCS paint scheme
