Cab Ride from Kansas City to Chicago, Part # 3 is a continuation of the first 2 parts. Not much really changes. The shadows are slightly different as the sun and actual direction changes a bit. Looking straight ahead, all we see is endless track, dull brown landscape as there is no snow on the ground. Meets with freight trains do add interest, and even the odd rail fan on a bridge. A few screen graphics to tell us where we are is a big help. As in the previous parts, likely the one thing that keeps the viewer awake is the chatter of the engine crew. The landscape does change a bit, with the addition of some water close by, and we are finally treated tp passing by a larger yard at Fort Madison. Each part does get a bit more interesting as we travel along, like over the Mississippi River. Then it's back to the boring, brown landscape. For the cab ride enjoyers, it's not a bad video. Otherwise, just a repeat of the 1st 2 parts.
