From August into early October, 2023, the second installment of "Saint Louis Area Rails Of Today" was filmed around the STL area. In this video, you'll see 13 different locations, with one train at each. As you saw in the part one, each location and train has some significance to railroading in the STL area,
Location One:
CN Southbound Local Train L548, w/ two Illinois Central "Deathstar" SD70s in Belleville, IL. CN St. Louis Sub
Location Two:
UP westbound empty windmill(?) move in Pacific, MO, UP Jefferson City Sub
Location Three:
BNSF Eastbound Q-SPMSTL meeting Westbound BNSF H-STLTUL at Keyes Summit (Valley Park), MO, BNSF Cuba Sub. On the portion of double track between Lindenwood Yard & Valley Park, meets between trains are very uncommon, since traffic is typically very light.
Location Four:
Westbound Alton & Southern Local, bound for 12th St. Yard in Downtown St. Louis, MO. Two of A&S's recently painted SD60s serve as power for the job.
Location Five:
Southbound UP Lite Power returning to Lesperence Yard on the south side of Downtown STL. The unit came from across the river in IL, and was likely doing work over there before returning lite.
Location Six:
Westbound UP Intermodal w/ CN Power, Sherman, MO, UP Jefferson City Sub
Location Seven:
Southbound BNSF Grain bound for N. STL, Old Monroe, MO, BNSF Hannibal Sub (K-Line)
Location Eight:
Westbound UP IG4SIB, passing the Historic MoPac Depot in Kirkwood, MO, UP Jefferson City Sub
Location Nine:
Eastbound Alton & Southern Local returning to Gateway Yard with the A&S SD60s, East St. Louis, IL
Location Ten:
Southbound NS manifest/intermodal combo, Granite City, IL, NS Brooklyn District
Location Eleven:
Northbound CPKC 259, heading underneath the "Concrete Jungle" of Interstate highway in East St Louis, IL. The train has just departed CPKC's East STL yard, and we'll see a northbound Amtrak passenger train passing overhead as well.
Location Twelve:
Westbound NS DW02, O'Fallon, MO, NS St. Louis District
Location Thirteen:
Southbound CPKC Grain running on the UP Oak Hill Branch of the Desoto Sub, Carondelet Park, South St Louis, MO. The train was interchanged in downtown STL to UP, and runs south to Italgrani in south city.
Be on the lookout for the third and final installment of this series, due out in the near future!

Carondelet Park Train was a Great Catch since you Rarely get to See trains through there very much any longer. Thanks! 👍🙏
Train Meets are Great and this BNSF Meet around a Curve was Awesome. 👍🙏
Alton & Southern have Nice Models and a Great Paint Scheme. I’ve seen them up in the Alton, IL, Area, in the past. Thanks!

I thought the 1st train was Belleville, IL. The Old Illinois Central Line. Glad to see the Black IC Units ALL over the Country. Not sure how people sleep next to tracks.
