Wisconsin Central Trip Schiller Park to Burlington
Переглядів 3932 роки тому
VHS video I took from the train, not sure what the special was, may have been the fifth anniversary trip, employees and families only. We went from Schiller Park to Burlington and return. Not the greatest video, but I was trying to record and look around. Bit before all the good stuff like pipe mounts for cameras etc. Maybe 1992 or so.

Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 stopped in Des Plaines Part 2
Переглядів 4132 роки тому
UP Big Boy 4014 in Des Plaines, IL, stopped at Wolf Rd. I had worked around Des Plaines on the WC and before the WC, the old CNW, so I knew the area. So I came an hour early figuring I'd get myself a parking spot in the parks lot. When they departed they made a few stops to load a couple of people and some finger food it looked like. Made my day, thank you Union Pacific. Taken by me on July 26,...

UP Big Boy 4014 in Des Plaines, IL. I had worked around Des Plaines on the CN/former WC and before the WC, the old CNW, so I knew the area. So I came an hour early figuring I'd get myself a parking spot in the parks lot. No problem, this was actually the first time I had been around the railroad since I retired. I was not expecting what happened where the train stopped on the Wolf Road crossing...

Gordy I saw something in the background there’s a building where it used to be now it gone
That was on Grand Ave, it was the old Motorola building if I remember correctly.
It was torn down in 2017.
Man, that car had some square wheels.
Trains barely ever go down this line now.
These trains use to go onto the CSX TRACKS in Oak Park along the Eisenhower Expressway. They no longer do so and run on other lines now owned by CN especially the double stack container trains that can't clear the tunnel underneath the Blue Line CTA tracks. The CSX TRACKS are now down to one track having only one customer the FARARA PAN CANDY COMPANY. I remember when this line use to be the SOO LINE there were 2 tracks. Now reduced to just one track when it became the CN.
@RailBrothersProductions; These trains no longer run down onto the CSX TRACKS along the Eisenhower Expressway and are rerouted onto other CN OWNED LINES instead. The CSX TRACKS are now just only one track serving one industry the FARARA PAN CANDY COMPANY which sees service maybe twice a week at the most.
Snowwwwwwww

Very nice

Cool

Yeah, miss those days, to bad the cameras weren't as good then.
Heard they dumped a few coming out of this interchange, it was still cool watch the cars fight and groan through the curve.
Yep, it's to bad the track is no longer there.
Memories of my bike riding adventures.....
Rail Brothers Productions what road is on this?
