New subscriber. Looking forward to part 2. Special points for the caboose/shove platform. And anybody going to Valley Junction is worthy of honor. My theory was that Valley Jct was so remote that the chances of meeting anybody was remote. That and get outa town by noon. Thankfully I live about 900 miles away so I don't to put my theories/life to the test!

Spent 35+ years working Downtown and my Office faced the South and I spent plenty of Time watching the Many trains going through the Freight Yards. 👍

Often wondered what the Restricted Speed is for the Old IC and now CN through Belleville, IL ? Thanks! 👍

Those Box Cars look like they have Spent a Lot of Time sitting idle with ALL the Graffiti on them over the past 40+ years.

I all of time hear an old phrase: "TIMES CHANGE", and "THINGS CHANGE". Well, here's an example of proof in my lifetime, In the video: "CP/KC Transfer" "Sauget, Il," The first "KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN" Was "RED and WHITE", That's the exact paint scheme of what they looked like back in the old days when I was 12 (1979) when they would come rumbling through "GRANNIS ARK." Sometimes, they would stop there to DROP OFF/PICK UP GONDOLAS (Feed Cars) for the CHICKEN PROCESSING PLANT they have there. That was also in the days of very frequently. There would also be another Locomotive assisting it from another RAILROAD "BURLINGTON NORTHERN" (Before they merged with SANTA FE). I knew nearly every one of those people who worked for them then Because I was the scrawny 12 year old then would be selling a NEWSPAPER we use to have called "GRIT NEWSPAPERS" (and no, not the oatmeal type either) who knew the schedules and would be waiting (at a safe distance, of course) And would sell one to each and every one of those people (who were very nice then) who worked that train then. But with time, more changes have happened since then: The PLANT (Then 1979) was "LANE POULTRY PROCESSING" and had a track for the train to drop off/pick up FEED CARS, "TODAY" That POULTRY PLANT belongs to "TYSON", The side rail where the feed cars were dropped off/picked up have all been ripped out since then. 🤔 Hmm, I wonder if "BURLINGTON NORTHERN (After the merge with SANTA FE)" still goes through there assisting "KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN" Today; Probably NOT. AH, THE GOOD OLE DAYS.
