The amount of fallen flag 86ft boxcars was pure amazement, usually on the Union Pacific Austin Sub you’ll see the occasional Southern, Conrail, UP, Autopart Boxcars.
Nice video . Regarding the single loco up front, I believe train brakes work not by applying air pressure from the loco , but by releasing air pressure in the system, thereby causing the already charged cylinders in each car to apply the brakes using the triple valve simultaneously .The system is charged up and brakes checked before the train moves off .
Always amazes me that you are able to put out this length and quality content in such a short time 1 or more times a week. Keep up the good work, dude.
Nice video..I live about a block and half from this diamond there are a lot of earth shakers daily..several years ago there was a second diamond about 50 yards east that ICG crossed NS
Thanks! That's really cool! Does the road-railer still come though there? I saw it several months ago but the last time I railfanned Jacksonville it didn't show up.
I’ve never seen so many falling flags. Great video. i’ve never even heard of the rail company southern, at first I thought the local freight engine was a high hood too
Yeah, there sure was a lot of them. Thank you! Southern is the company that merged with Norfolk and Western to create todays Norfolk Southern in the early 80’s I believe.
Back in the Day we had both Grand Trunk Railroad and Grand Funk Railroad. Both were Great and both are still a Pleasure to See and Hear. R.I.P. Fallen Flags. 👍🙏
Great video, thanks! I visited Jacksonville, IL three weeks ago and the diamond has been renewed. However, I could still hear it from my bed at my friends' house two miles away through the closed window. 😅
There is going to be a Day of Reckoning for the Class I Railroads. There is Entirely Too Much Maintenance Delayed and you can See by the Increase in Derailments.👎

Fantastic, our friend! (Dave).
Thank you so much!
@@Southern_Plains_Railfan you're welcome

For sure! It was even better to watch them in real life, they just kept coming and coming.

Thank you! Ah, ok, thanks for letting me know! I don’t know much about locomotive air brakes.
They sure can shake my house
That NS line is pretty busy

@@Southern_Plains_Railfan yes it does I think 2 times a day one going east and one going west
The first train you caught had a faded family lines hopper
I think this is the first time I've seen a railfaning video from my town thank you for covering this awesome place!
You're welcome! I don't know why Jacksonville isn't more well known, it's a pretty neat place.
Hope you had fun! I'd love to see you visit more Central Illinois locations. Most Illinois railfanning videos are either Chicago based or transcon.
I sure did! I plan on it, Illinois has a lot of potential for railfanning.
Don't forget Kcs has a spur running into Jacksonville as well.
Yeah, I didn’t mention it because I didn’t railfan there, since the switching done by the KCS local is inaccessible.

Colorful arrangement of Cars I'd say.
For sure!
Love those fallen flags 86' hi-cubed autoparts boxcars!
Me too!
the 1st train have a BNSF ACE leading

nice video!
Thank you!
Cool BNSF tanker train! Tankers are one of my favorite type of freight trains! Great catches

Old days old equipment
Yep.

Jacksonville Illinois not to be confused with Jacksonville Florida
