    I live in Illinois close to the BNSF Chillicothe Sub. The Z Trains run through the little towns like Mazon,IL with a 60 or 70 mph track speed. They are really fun to watch. I've been to Chesterton too. Great video.

      @@leadslinger49 That's because of the double tracking construction that's been going on east of Gary Metro Station to Michigan City IN there wasn't anything moving on the South Shore Line then. Double tracking very badly needed to schedule more trains in each direction. At least 14 more each way.

    Norfolk Southern…last to diesel…locomotives built backwards when dieselized (I’m guessing they thought they still used coal tenders), last to utilize DPUs…sounds like a wooden axle railroad to me. Don’t talk trash when you’re clueless.

    watch the coal train around the 16 minute mark. Just keep watching the cars go by for about 20 - 30 seconds then take a look at the trees and they start moving.

There are no more call centers in this country at all!!!!! Pretty soon 911 calls will also be routed to the Philippines!!!!!!!!!! Verizon Customer Service very bad!!!!!!!
