BNSF and UP Action in Mazon IL

[MegaLitebrite]

I've seen a few vids of trains going by that location, and I was wondering. How many trains normally go by there daily?

@MegaLitebrite This was back in 08 and there were close to 60 running on average on busy days of the week. That count is down from then, but I havent stayed anytime lately to give you a real accurate count. I would guess lower 50s.

[MegaLitebrite]

@tylerwinks That sure is a lot of trains. Over here, even on the bussiest days you are lucky to see 9 or 10 trains a day. But that's in San Antonio. There's another place in Texas called Temple where they have a pretty busy BNSF yard. They have like 15 to 20 trians a day, even on the slow days.

Hello again! Those are the freight trains I like. There's videos of up #844. That's a

nice horn from a bnsf and up train! I see some at Kansas city ,Missouri.

Your videos are fantastic--so great to see and hear fast trains!

Notice how the UP train is slow, however. Some things never change. UP used to ran a fast operation, but they gave up.

The horn on the first train was pretty kick ass!!

[tylerwinks]

I agree!\

does Metra run this far?sorry I havent been in ILL for a long time I mis Illinois!

[tylerwinks]

No prob at all. Metra doesn't run on this line at all actually. Farthest they run from Chicago is to Joliet, about 25 miles away from here, Aurora, and Elburn. Hows AZ? I've always wanted to railfan the Sunset route.

[WillyUnionPacific]
