Chicago Terminal Series: Nerska/Lemoyne Crossing, 5-6-10.

[@Crazeejay]

Damn Frank your videos just seem to get better with each one!!! Another awesome job!!

[@thetrainman407]

OK that Amtrak meet i have to say was beyond perfect. I still cant believe you caught all of this in 2 hours!

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

WOW! Look at that Geep 30!

[@boxcarfrank]

@SFLRailFan yes they made a reverse movement out of BNSF's Nerska Yard on the SoTranscon and once they got passed the signal, they went North on the BRC to Cicero where they hopped on the Racetrack.

[@boxcarfrank]

I'll add if your weary about getting close to RR property, fear not. Just take 42nd Street till it ends and you'll see a hill to the left next to the Belt. It's off railroad property and you can get a birds eye view of the entire junction. In the evening, it's best to be on the other side of the tracks.If you look at Google maps, park off 43rd Street and walk up Knox Ave towards the diamonds. That area is city property and you can stand far enough back. Neighborhood is pretty safe too.

[@blackdiamondexpress1889]

I dont see a 42nd st on the east side of the belt.....is it ann laurie pl?

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

6:17 Look at the CSX truck over top on the freeway!

[@CPManJoe]

Awesome video! That Amtrak meet was sick!

[@boxcarfrank]

@SFLRailFan yes Clearing would be to the left (South) of Lemoyne. Cicero is North of it.

[@BurlingtonNorthernModeler]

I like that ex-BN 2923! great to see some units that BNSF has in BN paint jobs

[@SFLRailFan]

Down this way, CSX and FEC crews call RR Police with their Nextel. I overheard one day a CSX conductor's Nextel chirp in the background while the engineer was talking to JG on the radio. The DS asked if they could copy an EC-1, but the engineer told him to "stand by, we're on the horn with CSX Police, there's a guy fishing from the bridge".

[@wiestbound]

That Amtrak meet was perfect!

[@SFLRailFan]

Right on... Those MT wells at the beginning were probably going to Clearing yard, right?

[@SFLRailFan]

That was a really cool catch at the beginning with that FEC well car. That BNSF GP35M/GP39E team was really cool to see too . Is that job out of Cicero? The Amtrak meet was pretty cool too.

[@trainmanj]

Good catch of the 1995 with the special.

[@boxcarfrank]

@cjb761 it's headed for UP's new Global 4 yard in Joliet thats still under construction. A bunch of planners and executives are on board..

[@SFLRailFan]

Clearing is to the left of the screen, correct? I thought Cicero was to the right, beyond the Stevenson Expy. and across the barge canal.

[@boxcarfrank]

@SFLRailFan no Cicero. Clearing's the other direction.

[@MotownModels]

Nice NPCU!

[@boxcarfrank]

@SFLRailFan thats why you gotta have that scanner :)

[@BurlingtonNorthernModeler]

@metraF40PH163 that GP30 looks great too! how many GP30's does BNSF still have?

[@cjb761]

What is up with the Special train pulled by the CNW engine? Who rides that?

[@reddyspaghetti]

Where is the Lemoyne crossing?

[@MagictrainsOrg]

Immer noch genauso geil wie am ersten Tag¨!

[@kle317]

WHERE IS THIS

[@RailfanningRulez]

where is this located?

[@lionelkid456]

Was CN 2709 a GEVO or Dash 9?

[@WindyCityRails]

D9

[@SFLRailFan]

41-49-04 N lat./ 87-44-18 W. lon. Just park at the end of W 42nd. Pl., and if you've got balls of steel like Frank, walk north along the BRC right-of-way and across the connection track to the Lemoyne diamond. Just be sure to get outta there fast before the bull shows up. Of course, I kid... I would never condone trespassing on RR property.

[@boxcarfrank]

@NARSConductor uhhh no Chicago.

[@boxcarfrank]

Chicago.

[@labhunter1]

Nice video. But you really shouldnt have set up on the tracks.

[@WindyCityRails]

It was safe since the OCS train was occupying the diamonds.

[@ColdSteelRails]

SOO LINE, FTW.

[@AMTK510]

Setting up right in the middle of a mainline ... brilliant! Not...

[@boxcarfrank]

@SFLRailFan don't worry, I unspammed this ;)

[@boxcarfrank]

@AMTK510 Need I remind you of your video with the shopping cart and the blue truck? That you posted publicly? Thats what I think off when I hear your name. I see you CA peeps are succumbing to the mass mind rape brought on by the Chicago fans about me too. Remember you CA railfans technically killed 15 people so I'd quit while your ahead..

[@boxcarfrank]

I'm not going to sit around all day and argue with some fat kid on KZbin but yeah... I've had this account for almost 4 years to post videos. How many have you had? Oh yeah.. You had nothing better to do but start online arguments and get so frustrated over it you'd delete your accounts. I remember how much you and your friends would post all those annoying bulletins about who sucked the most today. Besides, I could care less who likes my page. I post videos to archive them, not for views.

[@bnsfwarbonnet]

whereis this

[@WindyCityRails]

Somewhere over the rainbow. Yet somewhere under the I-55 overpass.
