  • The BNSF Aurora Sub runs from Aurora, IL to La Crosse, WI, and is mostly single track. This is part of BNSF's Northern Transcon and is ex CB&Q. Like most BNSF lines, this line is littered with GS Type 2s, but there are the occasional M bells and Safetran Type 3s, especially in Rochelle. There is also one remaining gateless crossing between Rochelle and Aurora.

    9th St #1 is my favorite due to it having pedestrian gates and Safetran Type 3s.

    there sure are a lot of intermodal trains that Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) run through the state of Illinois all the way up to the state of Wisconsin.

    Number 4 has a rare sight. A SpongeBob square cab in the lead and an old paint CSX trailing

    I wish BNSF would have kept some of the old bells. Have you ever railfanned St. Croix Sub?

  • @Theonewhoistointerestedi-zo1ls

    Nice you caught Route 38 before the installation of the quad gates and what the heck type of horn is that on that bnsf locomotive in the beginning

    Nice video! Love the mechanical bell, old WRRS gate mechs, and incandescent gate lights at that first crossing. Shame it got replaced though. Which of these crossings if your favorite, BTW?

  • @gunnerjohnson2840
    @gunnerjohnson2840 5 років тому +4

    Is there only one gateless crossing on the BNSF Aurora Sub?

  • @mb_rock0342
    @mb_rock0342 6 років тому +6

    How often does BNSF run trains on this sub on weekdays? Also, do you know of any crossings that have M bells on this sub?

    what about Lee, IL? According to google maps, they have gateless crossings along with Steward Main road. Idk if this is accurate, but has BNSF updated Lee, IL?

    • @TommyBNSF
      @TommyBNSF  6 років тому +3

      All of Lee's crossings are gated now. You can see them all here: www.rxrsignals.com/Illinois/L-Q/Lee/

    You're info is not quite accurate, the track along the river is mostly double track with only two sections of single track. One in Prairie Du Chien crossing the Wisconsin river an the other in La Crosse near Grand Crossing. Other than that it is double track all the way from Savannah, IL to a Crosse, WI I do not however know the area east of Savannah, IL

      riddlerkb Your grammar isn’t accurate, you have used the incorrect form of ‘Your’. Let’s have a grammar lesson shall we? Your - Possessive noun. It means it belongs to you. You’re - a contraction of ‘you are’
