That certainly is an ancient elevator and with that wind almost makes it feel like a ghost town

Thanks for your hard work!

Sad most old Ges locomotives is gone today

Probably OK, knowing that the train is all covered hoppers and not moving fast. It's things like load securing straps and sheeting off centerbeams that can mess you up.

Definitely some side to side action and having the Fred hooked up and flashing on the units

Dream job for both of them , can you imagine working in a factory within four walls god damn ! This is Hollywood .

Nice catch, Mark. I'm sad I never caught any of the Camas Prairie B23-7s on the IR. In fact, the only IR train I've ever seen actually moving was the Oregon, IL Unimin switch in October of 2013 and it had two HLCX ex-UP GP38-2s. Do you have any knowledge of why there's been an ex-BN caboose sitting on a siding along the IR tracks in Ottawa since at least 2003?

MAN that's some rare footage 😊😊😊

Awesome Catch

Why are tracks that are in that bad of a shape still being used? I thought the video was being slowed down, but the train is actually moving very slowly around the bend. That doesn't inspire confidence in the safety rail travel.

To be Honest, The SD90MAC-H’s that are phase I have the better looking cab design than the Phase II.

Wow! You managed to capture on video the former Chicago, Madison, & Northern Alco RSD-5 #1689 at 4:14 ! I believe that it’s now at the Illinois Railway Museum repainted to its original Chicago & Northwestern livery.

Love the view up the hill from 1:17!

Great video. Do you know the full date this was taken?

Great video .. I need to find my videos I shot around Freeport 😊

This is fantastic!

Awesome Catch

The bandit!

There are people in the area who are studying the possibility of bringing back passenger trains to the city. The plan is to include Savanna as a stop between Chicago and Dubuque Iowa.

I’m planning to record with that kind of camera

Thanks for this post. I have just came across this post tonight. I wish I saw it sooner. The Rockton IL footage was especially interesting to me. My grandparents lived by Taylor Freezer off of Blackhawk Blvd. I was able to find the place because Army Barricks use to be on their street and still are there to this day. Their house was not built yet, but the neighbor's house that was across the street is there. Interesting enough that house still exists but is no longer on Dingman drive. It was moved in 1980 to behind my grandparents' house on Blackhawk blvd. They moved it when Taylor freezer was expanding and bought that property. It is now their parking lot. I could not understand why Blackhawk Blvd angled the way it did in your post. Then I remembered that hwy 2 did not connect up to it yet. I then compared it to current aerials of Rockton. Then bam it all made sense. The service roads along hwy 2 in both Rockton and going into South Beloit are the old roadway to Beloit. Now I understand why Blackhawk blvd was the way it was in your post. Thank you again. I enjoyed going down memory lane.

I counted a total of thirty three cars. When they said Amtrak’s Material Handling years reached their peak in the early 2000s, they meant it.

Outstanding my friend.

Good job buddy..👉🏻

Try to take a ride back out this way Mark......The SD 382S. 151 AND 153 have com out in storage for increased traffic...👉🏻👉🏻....great video btw.👉🏻

Beautiful. I love the slightly off harmony of train horns

Now this is one of my favorite lines for seeing BN freights. Not only for the traffic density but for the SUPERB farmland country it passes through. Those westbounds you spotted appear to be a loaded grainer & one of the 40 symboled SHOOTERS destined for the Intermodal yard in Midway.

I may look at this for each day it gets above 90 supposedly later in the week

I hope that you meant to say east to San Bernardino!!, not west !

Beautiful old EMDs

Beautiful horn?

Audio?

Nice to have this documented! We live a mile from Graytown and I see remnants of concrete bridgework. Some presumably from the rerouted county highway K but some perhaps from the Glenwood and Northern RR. I believe they both ran on the east side of the Hay River from Connorsville up to Graytown.

Ive never got to see one going across on the canal.. nice

Old blue.. I've seen that train since I was a kid and that was 35 years ago

I go up to Mendota Princeton lasalle to see the trains keep up the good work

thanks obama

Any chance you have Spring Valley Illinois?

Fucking climate change! I knew it!

The train looked to be about 50 seconds away at least 😑 not a breath holding moment but it is dangerous still.

Spending time in Mendota I’ll have to meet you at the station.

Westbound?

Crazy how those engines get around! I caught P42 180 in Richmond, VA a few weeks ago.

Are you sure that wasn't the CZ. It doesn't stop in Mendota. Usually the Chief is on track one for the stop.

Now let’s go to Rips for chicken!

Only 7 cars? Short these days
