Saturday is the day if you live in eastern Missouri or Southern Illinois to see the Big Boy steaming up the river to St. Louis. Here's the schedule and the link (Click The Schedule.) to the UP site. Note that times are Central Time. No mention of Standard or Daylight Saving. Assume you should be there early if you go, so you don't miss it.
I studied Google Earth and I think I have spotted a good vantage point for photos and video out in the country, and maybe away from crowds. Here are screen shots to help you find it, not far northwest of Praire DuRocher. Just northwest of the town turn off of Bluff Road onto Goose Lake Road and go until you are on the other side of the tracks. You will have the sun slightly at your back and the river bluffs for a backdrop. Good Luck and be sure to share your videos!
