Welcome to my channel!! A little info about myself - I began railfanning about 8 years ago & started this channel on Memorial Day 2021. My videos are from a variety of locations; mostly in northern & central Illinois, but I also have footage from Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Ohio & Pennsylvania. I try to add facts or points of interests that might be in those area or maybe even a good place to drop in for a bite to eat. My favorite rail line is the Chillicothe Subdivision due to its high daily volume; between 60 - 80. It’s been nicknamed The Intermodal Superhighway & it’s part of the BNSF Southern Transcon. The Chicago Line in Northern Indiana is runner up. Hopefully this is a place you can come and spend as much time as you wish to enjoy trains. Even if it’s only for a few minutes at a time. No worries, concerns or politics here. All are welcome!! Please feel to subscribe!! Hope you enjoy!!!

Does the H-BRCTUL now use the Chillicothe sub east of Cameron?
Hi there!! I’ve been asked that question a few times now and I still haven’t been able to get a clear answer. I think they swing down the Chillicothe as needed depending on traffic on the Mendota. I’m not really sure about that overall. I’ve heard someone say putting a manifest on the Chillicothe is like putting a donkey in the Kentucky Derby due to the heavy intermodal traffic. If I get an answer I’ll definitely let you know because I’m interested to know too. Thanks for watching!! I appreciate it!!
@@trainmandavid8408 That probably explains why they rerouted H-GALCNI,H-CNIGAL & H-GALNSI to the Mendota sub then.
Thank you David!
You’re welcome Michael!! I appreciate it!!!
Great Video.

Elephant style! Thank you David!

Also some cut from ABQ are picked up at Belen by a eastbound Z
Interesting. I truly appreciate the info. I really appreciate it.
You got to watch the Belen railcam where the BELABQ turn goes to Albuquerque
I have seen that railcam but haven’t watched it in awhile.
Unfimilar with a Z from ABQ
I had to double check the beginning location. If memory serves there is only one a week that goes from ABQ to WSP. I can’t remember if it’s on Sunday or Tuesday. Thank you for watching!! I really appreciate it!!
Thank you David!
You’re welcome Michael!! Thanks for watching again!!!
Thank you David! I am appreciative for the work you put into these videos.
Thank you Michael!! I truly appreciate your support!! It means a lot to me!!
They snuck that reefer in the middle there. Thank you David!
Every once in a while I see them to that!! Thanks for watching!!
Nice Capture
Thank you very much!! I really appreciate it!!
I love me some elephant style. Not sure what the building was, but a beautiful building. Thank you David!
Hey Michael, sorry I didn’t respond sooner. I just saw your comment. That is the train station in downtown Joliet. Thank you for watching!!
@trainmandavid8408 No worries! Thank you for the info!
The lighting on the building and the grain elevator provided a great background as the train approached. Romeoville is an odd destination for a We Energies train unless they're holding it there for a few hours. Nice night capture
I agree with it being an odd destination for sure. I haven’t seen that very often. Thank you for watching!! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
That is an incredible amount of coal. Thank you David! I know there has to be a lot of work that goes into making these videos. Just know it is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you for the very kind words Michael!! I truly enjoy going out there and catching these train on video and seeing the end results after editing. I’m very appreciative to everyone who has taken the time out to watch these videos.
Thank you David!
You’re welcome Michael!! I truly appreciate it!!
Awesome Video 🚂🚂
Westbound leader has a K3LA
That’s one thing I still haven’t gotten down - learning the different train horns. Thanks for watching and the info!! I really appreciate it!!

Awesome Video 🚂🚂
Thank you very much Nick!!!
Thank you David!
Thank you very much for watching Michael!! I appreciate it!!
Orange and black. Warbonnet?
Ahhh crap. You’re right!! I’ve done this before - got a couple videos mixed up while editing and forgot which was which in my notes. I’ll fix that right now. I have a video I filmed in Coal City about the same time that the Warbonnet was on a manifest. I inverted which description went to the appropriate one. Thanks for pointing out my screw up!! I honestly mean it. Thanks for watching too!!
That must be a pretty steep climb.
It’s about a 7 mile climb uphill. They usually take a running start down in the town of Chillicothe to help them get up the hill. Thanks for watching!!
I saw the intermodal on the side track. Is it common for a manifest to get priority over an intermodal? I thought it was the other way around?
What you were seeing was a BNSF “S” train waiting for crew change. This particular area they have extra tracks there to usually lash up two trains together or idle while waiting to get their word to move ahead. The intermodal’s usually get priority. Thanks again for watching!! I really appreciate it!!
Thank you David! Have a good day.
You’re welcome Michael!! Thanks for watching!!
