Amtrak #184 West

Amtrak's series of Heritage Units includes one of the Phase IV scheme, which I have to admit is my least favorite of the group. However, word up and down the UP Jefferson City Sub of it being on the 314/313 circuit today coupled with another tip that there were 5 private cars on Amtrak #303 pushed me to downtown STL for some tries at both.

 

I missed the eastbound movement with 184 due to getting a little too lackadaisical with time getting out of the house, didn't get any shots that I'm terribly happy with of the the private cars on 303, but I DID manage to salvage the day with this shot of 184 getting underway on it's westbound trip across the state with the buildings of St. Louis lit up by the afternoon sun in the background.

 

I guess I can check the box off for this unit on my list now.
