From the HD camera of Jim Tiroch, we spend 24 hours at Kirkwood, Missouri, Milepost 13.46 and the summit of the ruling grade for eastbound trains on Union Pacific’s Jefferson City Subdivision. You will see the Richardsonian Romanesque style Kirkwood station which was built in 1893 by the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The city of Kirkwood was named for the chief engineer of the Pacific Railroad, James P. Kirkwood in 1853. In 2003 Amtrak discontinued agents at the Kirkwood station, in order to cut costs. Today volunteers provide train information to boarding passengers. This program was shot on April 16th, 2011 from Approximately Midnight to the following Midnight at the Kirkwood location. You will see Coal Trains, Intermodal’s, Double Stacks, Military Trains, Autoracks, Amtrak and an assortment of Locomotive Power. Extra Features: Piston Blow – March 11th, 2003, Kirkwood Missouri. Rail-fan Jim Tiroch is out and about filming trains, UP 6741 on the CNAIM has just blown a piston, shooting hot flames and scalding oil all over the place. Kirkwood, In 1990 – A very busy spot, with loaded coal trains headed East, and Empties West, with a good mix of intermodal trains. SD40-2’s and F40PH’s ruled the rails at this time – (From the camera of George Redmond)

This Green Frog title that was made in Co-Operation with Black 5 Video contains a parade of great diesels hauling freight & Passenger Trains on Union Pacific, Amtrak (with one Genesis unit referenced to a former New Haven Alco RS-3 that used to operate on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad in the ’90s), Norfolk Southern, CSX with C40-8 number 7557 for instance, & old fallen flags like Southern Pacific, Kanas City Southern, Chicago & Northwestern, & Burlington Northern with Hoppers heading to & from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, Double-stacks, Mixed Manifests (with one that has a caboose on the rear), Auto Carriers, a special Military Train, 4 passenger trains with Amtrak’s River Runner. Due to the fact that the depot itself is a quiet zone, all locomotives must activate their headlights & bells only, without using their very loud airhorns to disturb the residents & visitors of Kirkwood.
Aside from the trackside action, there is a look inside the station itself which includes posters, a waiting room, lovely artwork, & even some HO Scale models on display in a cage. Even though Kirkwood is home to the nearby National Museum of Transportation, the home where Frisco 1522 was stored & operated from 1988 to 2002 is not in this feature sadly.
The depot is located at Milepost 13.46, as the date for the main 47-minute feature from Midnight, to Sunlight, to Darkness was shot in the middle of April 2011. Not only that, but there are also a couple of bonus segments: one from October of 1990 that was shot by George Redmond of Diverging Clear Productions with Amtrak’s Anne Rutlidge, more UP Freights with fallen flags like SP & Chessie System, & even a comparison of a March 2003 Quickie where the lead unit of a Union Pacific coal train is having serious mechanical issues, especially when it’s on fire.
The Narration for this program was done by Aaron Gonthier, while James Trioch did the footages for the 2003 & 2011 trips.
