Hi, I'll be in St Louis for a few days this week with some limited time to watch trains. Under these circumstances, what location(s) will give me the best bang for the buck? Any can't miss RR attractions? I imagine morning until noon will be my most free times. My main interest is freight traffic. I'd say I'm mainly a rolling stock fan but do enjoy seeing different power too. I always enjoyed seeing bottle cars in the Midwest if any are around, but happy to see what is specific to STL. Suggestions with some point of reference are much appreciated. Thanks!
Hello,
I see the OP got no replies, but I am going to try anyway. What are some good places in the Saint Louis area to catch trains? I am heading out there next month. Any good spots to sit and catch mainline traffic? What about transfer runs? Anywhere within an hour or so of STL is fine with me. I would like to catch some "Southern Belles" also if possible.
Thanks in advance!
