Action At BNSF's Classification Yard. Galesburg, IL. 8-29-09.

[soldier16s]

Nice to see some yard action from Galesburg, Frank! Awesome job. Thirwell road has always been a great train watching site. Not sure what Mark519911 is talking about being "illegal", but the police sometimes visit you up there, and once they determine your ID and that you are a railfan, they pretty much leave you alone. My niece and a couple friends of mine work there in the yard. I also know a few of the hostlers in the pit area.

Nice video, Frank. Smart move by BNSF to give some locomotives reporting markings.

Like The Opening Shot Of The BNSF Santa Fe GM SD39 And The Shots Of Galesburg BNSF Yard Was Nice To See This Time Of Year...Peace...

[RailfanDaniel]

Great video! Your making me want to go see CN MacMillan Yard in Toronto, Ontario. I'd love to see all those engines parked there, and the yard switching. The one disadvantage is, it is nowhere near as colorful as BNSF Classification Yard.

[NW917]

r all of those engines stored and out of service (parked), or r they still in use?

[MattBNSF1991]

they are getting serviced

[moomoocajoo]

that opening shot is awesome, so calm and...I dunno very filmic!

[TommyBNSF]

Man I do have to go on this bridge one day, once I get my license i'll have to plan a trip out there, maybe spring break

[heelblocks]
