Union Pacific and Canadian National at West Chicago, IL - Trackside Travels HD 1080p

[@Cnw8701]

I've always loved the sounds of trains going on diamonds and wyes, and seeing two major lines meet each other! In El Paso, TX, I love filming the Tower 47 Wye; where a major interlocking tower once stood (that the UP named the wye after), where the Carrizozo Subdivision of the Tucumcari Line meets the Valentine Subdivision of the Sunset Route.

Very well done. Looking forward to the next installment of Trackside Travels!

And to think the BNSF West Chicago Branch (former CB&Q River Branch) used to come in right behind the camera operator until they clipped it back 2 blocks and removed the switch. Also did you notice that a CN employee comes out and watches the diamonds when a CN comes through.

[@peterowlett2834]

[@markhayes6407]

[@TrainsNStuff]

Awesome video & Catches! The only thing that sucks here is it's a quiet zone. Well, you came here at the right time! Great job!

Rochelle Sucks too ruined the Horns thanks alot people live Illinois

[@jaybobred6552]

Excellent video! Thanks Green Frog! I enjoyed this very much! I was surprised to hear the junction is controlled by CN. The trains rattling thru are sweet music to my ears too. I wonder if the person in the house closest to the diamonds realizes what a gem is outside their windows.? Thanks again.

The West Chicago diamond is the same as the CSX-NS diamond in North Charleston SC.

Man I love those diamonds !. There is a place in marion ohio 30 minutes away from our house called the Marion ohio union station depot and it has 2 sets of quad diamonds, well 4 diamonds in a square shape lol. Csx diamonds and Ns diamonds are in marion. Me and my dad usually see 5 trains sometimes 7 8 and 9 trains. The NS diamonds in marion were put in 2010 and sound brand new ! :D

[@HyperActive7]

This place was better before the former EJE was still NOT a quiet zone.

[@nigelterry9299]

I'm particularly fond of the dinky wee short hoppers! Anyone any idea as to what they haul?

[@illinois_rails]

Usually sand but other things can happen
