The Trains of Galesburg

Galesburg, Illinois is one of the midwest's busiest railroad towns, with lines radiating out in seven directions. In this program, you'll pay a visit to this important rail hub, and sample the action on each of the lines, as well as the depot area downtown and the junction at Cameron.
BNSF Railway runs a tremendous amount of trains through here on both the old Santa Fe and Burlington lines. Galesburg is also a busy Amtrak location, and you'll see all of the Amtrak trains that serve it. If you like modern railroading, then this is the program for you!
Highlights include:
Sample the action on all 7 lines coming into Galesburg
See Amtrak and freights in the downtown depot area
Get an overview of the yard
See how the Burlington and the Santa Fe are now connected at Cameron

As others have said, this DVD was my childhood (got it in a pack of 24? DVDs by TOPICS). Still a great program to rewatch! And hey, there's no harm or no foul with experimenting with upscaling. Nobody'll think different of you.

[@Bridgeoverthevalley]

Very entertaining to watch. Great narration. Always wanted to visit Gales - maybe someday.

[@jimmyhook4852]

Say Les... seeing as only the east side of Monmouth was featured on the segment regarding the former Burlington via to the west of Cameron, I was wondering: What are your thoughts on Monmouth in general? Little fun fact from me: My dad was born and raised in that town. :)

[@theisononthecake63]

This film disappeared for a whole day yesterday? 😂 It's here now, but it's missing the badass intro music? 😅 what happened?!

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

It was missing the intro the first time he uploaded this. Also it disappeared because of complaints about an HD up conversion of the film or something.

Hey ever seen the atsf 3751 going through towns where you live cause I bet it still runs in this year is it hope I can get to see if it comes to Brookfield Missouri

[@RailwayProductions]

Lately, 3751 has mainly stayed around its base in Los Angeles. I doubt that it will be heading anywhere close to you in the near future.

[@Robbi496]

Dunno what year you made this, but there are 8 Amtrak trains thru Galesburg now
