BNSF Galesburg, IL Busy afternoon August 23, 2022

After a slow morning things picked up the last two hours. A nice variety of engines in the south pit and some engine shuffling. Amtrak and manifest for Northtown, Belt Railway and other trains. Thanks for watching comment like and subscribe.

Never heard the term, “Trimmer” Engines before. Galesburg is a Busy Yard as always. Thanks, Jeff! 👍

Trimmer engines are yard switchers, you see them pulling out the long string of cars and shove them into departure tracks.

Oh I saw 6111 on the Galesburg cam! He came through at 7:56 am! It’s a shame I haven’t caught a 25th yet. This is due to the fact they barely show up on the racetrack but of course they show up when I’m in school. But I’m glad others can show off what they saw and give us a glimpse of what these engines are up too!

[@jefftoft5568]

I am yet to catch one actually moving in a train, thanks for watching!

[@Blaze06]

@@jefftoft5568 same here! That’s how I really want to catch stuff because if their moving it’s much better in my opinion!

[@centraliowarailproductions2810]

Nice catches! BNSF 6111 is now on HGALDMO-24

[@jefftoft5568]

I have yet to catch one actually moving on a train, just pictures of them in the pit.

What exactly is a trimmer engine?

[@jefftoft5568]

Yard engines that pull cuts of cars off the bowl hump tracks and combine them for out bound trains.
