Stacks and ethanol in Glen Ellyn, really short manifest, NS8100 Nickel Plate Road in Geneva
Original film date: February 1, 2025
The main attraction of this day was NS8100 Nickel Plate Road which was leading the UP MNPPR manifest. We had heard on the scanner one of the engines had issues and risked not being able to make it to Proviso. MNPPR had been stopped at La Fox, IL for a bit. It was at 5:27pm when MNPPR with NS8100 leading passed through Geneva, IL.
Prior to catching NS8100, we spent some time at Glen Ellyn, IL and saw a two car manifest and a westbound manifest that slowed down and stopped for a little bit. The third main track project continues to make progress and each time out in Geneva is a step closer to seeing the track ready for mainline service.

Open containers on a stack train, action from Elburn, Geneva, and Wheaton, IL
Переглядів 17914 днів тому
Our first time out in 2025. The most noteworthy event of this day was seeing a series of open containers on a westbound stack train that was passing through Elburn, IL. While some heritage engines were missed during the course of the last week, it’s always a privilege to get out there and bring you some train action.

On the evening of Thursday, December 19, 2024, Metra service was delayed due to UPW train 41 striking a vehicle in Maywood. Between 7:00pm to 8:00pm we capture some of the train movements which include the Metra holiday train and the Emergency Notification System (ENS) liveried F40PH-3 147. An eastbound manifest with some NS power also passed through. The following morning we visit Elmhurst and...

Wow!! What an awesome catch!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
nice catch. wish there would’ve been a little more daylight. i know you folks really wanted to get this one
i need to come out to glen ellyn sometime. that looks like a nice spot to see trains
nice little manifest
Good old CNW.
MWGWG - West Chicago to Rochelle Turn
Hmmmm
I believe the open containers are on IG4G3 which happens to be the second IG4G3 that day
Man that’s crazy seeing those open containers. Elburn is such a good spot too to fan
Legends never die
Big Boy c'est une locomotive impressionnante je kiffe sur elle comment on dit dans le jargon des jeune maintenant en fait je veux dire c'est locomotive que j'apprécie elle est phénoménale magnifique 😍
Are you guys going to get the MNPAH this afternoon with the 4 NS units trailing?
We will try. We’ll watch the Rochelle chat for updates. The person capturing footage for us today is also going to be at Naperville.
so festive 🎄🚆
indeed a great message
Making the rounds we see. Nice capture
Colorful
wait a second, somebody (you) is at Arlington Heights and I didn’t notice….? I caught the same trains too
We didn’t stick around long. The plan was to catch the holiday train there at Arlington Heights but we went to Palatine after the first eastbound
@UPGenevaSub for me I was waiting for the freights since I got heads up about them, I went for the holiday train along with it since the timing is right
Nice catches. Friday the 13th seemed good for you folks too
Lol I’m in this video, that’s the back of my head at the start.
Magnificent catches of the trains coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Hearing that amazing diesel sound, along with coaches and cars coming through is absolutely crazy. Keep up the perfect work, my friend, I just liked and subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to the USA.
👍👍👍
Nice catch. I caught this same train in Sterling, IL although the CP was trailing 3rd of 3.
We’ve seen open doors like this on our line as well
6:57 was that the locomotive bell ringing? why would that one have been ringing? the locomotive was "pushing," so only the "front" cab car bell should have been on. 🤷♂️
The engineer when they were changing ends at Elburn might have forgotten to turn off the locomotive bell. There have also been times we’ve seen the mars, ditch, and/or headlights left on when the locomotive is in push mode
the whistle at 17:25 wow that's loud 😳
glen ellyn, let's goooo! yeeee haw! i railfan there a lot.
Thank you for this excellent video presentation which is very much appreciated.
The night capture with the low lighting was difficult. It was a goal of ours to capture a VIA consist. Hopefully next time we’ll be able to capture one in daylight.
Cool. I got NS 4436 in Malta today with a P5 but two of the bells have gone silent so it sounds like a P3
nice late night capture!
that’s a great looking locomotive with a great message
New signals in at western Ave as well I see 7:51
that’s pretty neat traveling light at a good speed
Cool to see the caboose.
Really cool catch
nice little train!
