Kirkwood Hill. Kirkwood, Missouri - a suburb of St. Louis - offers railfans a nice mix of main lines wrought with S curves and grueling grades, the St. Louis Transportation Museum, a handsome depot and, of course, burly freight action from rail giants BNSF and Union Pacific. You'll enjoy all of this and more as you tour Kirkwood and popular hot spots west of it such as Grays Summit, Eureka, and Pacific - many of which are "painted" in brilliant fall colors. Color, 45 minutes. #0RV5418
