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.
