I live in Joliet. Next time you are near Joliet, exit I-55 onto Lorenzo Road. Go west about 1.25 miles to the BNSF crossing. this is a nice place to watch trains. BNSF has a four track staging yard for trains waiting to enter center point intermodal. train crews are shuttle van to Lorenzo road to take the trains into center point.
Another good train watching place is Murphy Road. go west on Lorenzo road about 1.70 miles to Will Road. go south on Will Road 1.50 miles which curves into Murphy Road. Go another 2,800 ft to the BNSF tracks. Murphy road is the west end of the staging yard for center point. a new signal bridge across seven tracks was installed about 5 years ago. new CP 550 is about 1/4 mile west of Murphy road. I watch trains here alot.
A great video, however, looking at the names on the containers being hauled by the mighty BNSF railroad, most of their contents would almost certainly be from China, so no wonder countries like American and Australia have so many derelict factories!
Catches more like that I love fast Moving trains

Great Video, Cool Catches.

Nice video to watch
That was an enjoyable video! I didn’t even mind the cold and snow....when it’s on television!
The train with 2 NS engines, could that be a New York - Los Angeles train (or the other way)?
How much train I need to pay it
