@basicbill1 well sometimes i wait 4 hours and nothing comes and other days they do, i dont have a scanner and its hard to catch, ive actually seen one at a bridge when i was taking pictures but thats it.
I got a tip that the M338 train was leaving Freeport at about 0830 this morning (Wednesday). Not sure when that would pass through Burlington. Maybe by 10 am. Some interesting engines supposedly.
As the old J being one of my favorite railroads, I wish I could have been there to see that train as 660 used to frequent my backyard in Barrington when I used to live there. Excellent video!
@trainsmaniac2009 I had all of my equipment packed away and was driving toward home when I got the phone call. But didn't want to miss it. Thanks for watching.
could you give me heads up when you know trains are going to come through the burlington area? thanks.

@unionpacifictrain Hi. I seldom know when one is coming. I was lucky that I was tipped on this one and was in the area to catch it.
