It is 8:00 am, and Amtrak train 4, the eastbound Southwest Chief, makes its stop in Kansas City, Missouri. On an adjacent track, as seen from the vestibule of train 4, Amtrak Dash 8-32BWH 515 is on the point of train #304, The Ann Rutledge, waiting for the Chief to depart so that it can get underway to Chicago (just like the Chief, but on a parallel route) twenty-minutes later.
