The 4 BNSF units on the Autoracks was probably IHB BN 9. I was at Blue Island, IL back on August 11th and had a BNSF 4163 solo on an autoack train called themselves as BN 9

Nice video, enjoyed all the different paint schemes.

[@trainutjob]

Thank you! I did too, you see almost everything there!

I don't usually comment twice on the same vid but this is excellent. Around the 3:26 mark that manifest out of Collinwood Yard in Cleveland, Ohio. Collinwood is about 6 miles from my house and for all the years I've been a train fanatic I've never tried going in there to photograph or video anything. I figure now they've got it covered with security cameras anyway. Really nice vid here, like always you do a fantastic job. This isn't a 'good' spot to watch at, it's a superbly awesome spot and you capture it all so well especially the Indiana Harbor Belt moves.

Dam nice video Dan, jealous... So far I've been at Blue Island twice and only caught a lite power move I have to go back at some point.

[@trainutjob]

Thanks man! It’s a super cool spot, definitely looking forward to the return trip for sure!

Super nice video-a great railfanning spot! A microphone windscreen muff, i.e. "deadcat", would help reduce wind noise on your recordings. Keep up the great content!

[@trainutjob]

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! I agree, that wind noise kills me sometimes, lol.

@@trainutjob Your welcome.

[@benzene-railfan]

Great catches! I wonder how you got close to the diamond in Dolton?

[@trainutjob]

Thank you! There’s a little access road by the bowling pin or whatever it is on the corner by the crossing lol.

[@benzene-railfan]

@@trainutjob I see. Thought the diamond was already off the limit. Great to know there is still an accessible path. Thanks!

Was that empty narrow trestle used for a single track at one point?
