The Main Line of Mid-America: Part 2 - Champaign to Effingham

[@SouthernIllinoisRailfan]

After watching both parts, you did a wonderful job with the videos, editing, and narration. Although I was a little bummed to not see action in downtown Effingham and even Centralia, but there’s always next time! Five stars all around, though!

Thank you for the kind words! I've been thinking about doing an Illinois diamond series where I visit towns that have rather busy diamond crossings. Effingham was on on the list. Here's hoping that it happens in the future. Thanks again for looking!

I think the CN could consider re-installing double track on the line. I think it has enough traffic these days to warrant that. Thoughts?

[@bnsf7562]

While I'm all for increasing capacity, CN was pretty efficient at moving traffic along this line for it being a single track. There were a few days over the course of filming both of these videos where I didn't see a train for 4-5 hours.
