My first Railfanning at Santa Fe Junction in Kansas City | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share this with you all. I just got back from Kansas City yesterday visiting family. I go there a couple of times a year. I've always wanted to go railfanning there because I know there are a lot of trains that pass through there. Yesterday, I finally got my chance and it was awesome!!! I went to the Kansas City railfanning web page and found out where the best spots are to watch them. I decided to go to Santa Fe Junction in Kansas City. I was there for about a total of an hour and fifteen minutes and I probably saw 10 trains!!! Many times I would see two trains at once and towards the end I even saw three trains at once. This place has to be one of the best places to watch trains because there are so many! I made a video of it and put it up on YouTube. I wanted to share it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RiUtT3IyTA

You got quite a return on your 1-1/4 hour investment.
