Kansas City Spotting Locations


Santa Fe Junction-Kansas/Missouri State Line at about 29th Street-Probably one of the busiest places in the area to watch trains. Not as rail friendly as it used to be. Careful not to stray on the railroad property or the BNSF bandit will be on you. Here are a few pics overlooking the area from the south.

SantaFeJct07- At least this time the Bluff line is in the background.

UP Coffeyville Sub MP 296.6 in Minor Park- There is a concrete bridge that runs over the line that is used only for mountian bikers and foot traffic on dirt bike trail. It is a little bit of a hike and its not the best spot for pictures but it offers a nice place to just sit adn wait for trains.Heres a few shots of the area....
