Taken during the "unofficial" La Plata (MO) Rail Days on June 22nd, this was the second train we saw roar through after driving in. Not surprisingly, it was another Z train -- highest priority intermodal -- which are common here on BNSF Railway's southern transcontinental route (Chicago to L.A.) Max speed for these trains is a mighty 70 mph, which is far faster than anything I can see back in Northeast Georgia.
Virtual Railfan -- www.virtualrailfan.com -- has three popular cameras at La Plata and over 100 across North America. I am honored to be a live-chat moderator on KZitem for their live feeds. Amtrak #3's arrival usually brings between 1,200 and 1,600 live viewers.
