BNSF 4291 leads a 16,000 foot (all double-stacked) stack train through Chillicothe, IL 08/13/17

Three weeks ago I caught a 16,000 ft long stack train out of Logistics Park Chicago in Ancona a bit further east though that one mainly had single stacks. This one was all double stacks with the same 5+3+2 format. A very long westbound BNSF stack train led by BNSF 4291 (ES44C4 built 2016), 3914 (ET44C4 built 2015), 7955 (ES44C4 built 2015), 7546 (ES44DC built 5/2007), 6857 (ES44C4 built 2012), 4530 (C44-9W built 10/1999 mid-DPU), 5203 (C44-9W built 10/2003 mid-DPU), 7117 (ES44C4 built 2013 mid-DPU), 4531 (C44-9W built 9/1999 rear DPU), and 4708 (fakebonnet C44-9W built 10/1997 rear DPU), passes through Chillicothe, IL.

Thanks Illinois Railfan for the outstanding vid.Endeavors and exertions are unmatched.Bliss

[@jodypearce9515]

This is the only good memories that I have from my time of living in Illinois for 2 years. Wonder what this train would have looked like in the time of steam locomotives? Hmm, how many 2-10-10-2s.

Nice catch, he was a super long one, I love it, great video

my eye's were spinning,when I saw the amount of train cars

[@Scaw]

Great that all these goods are sent by rail, therefore keeping many trucks off the roads.

Fredobel51 and the way intermodal traffic has been increasing over the years it will continue and make our roads a little safer

That's a big S-O-B , they really are pushing their luck with some of these trains if it all comes off in a pile take a month to clean it up.

Never seen one so long (unfortunately that’s NOT what she said). Anyone know if BNSF or UP still routinely run such long trains? Would imagine they would not fit onto most sidings. Thanks for the video!

[@UnitedRailfan]

I’ve NEVER seen a train like that. 5 - 3 - 2. Any idea how often they run? They must be super rare to catch.

[@BNSF_7777_Productions]

United Railfan I’ve seen them 4 times since I started Railfanning two years ago, they’re kind of rare, but that’s because I Railfan Fullerton, in other places it could be more common

[@adammorrow5202]

@United Railfan There is a no horn zone this train travels through to my west. Nicknamed the "Chicago S-Train", this train originates at BNSF's logistics yard at Elwood, IL, he travels south-southwest down to Olathe, Kansas, through the no-horn zone, he continues out to Pier 400, out to a BNSF yard at Long Beach, California, the train is then broken up and put on a container ship to steam west out to the far East.

3x2x2, 5x3x2

[@kildrummer]

@@adammorrow5202 Would it be fair to say that a large % of these containers would therefore have been empties returning to Asia if the train is heading to Long Beach?

[@adammorrow5202]

@@kildrummer no, loaded heads west to Asia, empties come back from Asia

Is this getting to be a more common thing, what rail service needs to do to make money??? At least in rural country...

[@Cpr1234]

It's a common sight today. This happens 2 to 3 times a week and it also passes the railcam at La Plata so there's plenty of chances to see it again!

Doesn't double stacking create stability issues when in a bend or a corner?
