@basicbill1 np

[W4DOV]

living in the south I don't get to see those. Looks like your cameras were caught in the spray.

Great video 5*

Bill

[bnsf4]

What? I didn't know there was a UP Belvidere sub in wayne, what line is this?

[basicbill1]

@bnsf4 Well... it runs from West Chicago to Belvidere. Crosses through Wayne just west of "downtown."

Bill

[bnsf4]

@basicbill1 oh, do you know how busy this line is? I have seen 1 train on this line only like once in my whole life, I don't know, can some of the trains on the geneva sub use that big curved track to get onto this line? what scanner frequency is this "belvidere sub" on? thanks

Tyler

[basicbill1]

@bnsf4 Not very busy. I believe only one train a day (night) to/from the Chrysler plant in Belvidere.

Bill

[bnsf4]

DANG BILL! Now this is cool! GREAT video!

[basicbill1]

@bnsf4 Hey thanks. I does seem to be popular. Check out the next one with "bonus clips."

Bill

[bnsf4]

@basicbill1 I did. Pretty cool stuff, what's the bevidere sub? where is that? I know this spot, but I have only seen 1 train on this line 1 time in my life, never gone here, never know what and where signals are and what scanner freq. to use, do you know?

[TheSoopete]

This guy really knows how to run a train. A great video. Thanks.

[basicbill1]

@TheSoopete Yes he does. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Bill

[SkateboarderRobley]

Bill

[DJHOGHEAD]

Bill, Five will get you ten by Sunday night this will have over 3,000 views. Dave

[basicbill1]

@DJHOGHEAD Probably right, Dave. Almost there.

Bill

[billy12350]

Awesome video!!!! How many cameras did you use? I am really impressed at how good it turned out. My good friend and co-worker was the conductor on that train.

Bill D.

[basicbill1]

@billy12350 Hi. Three cameras were used. Tell your friend thanks from me for helping engineer Hawley do his thing. The speed and horn were a big factor in the success of the video. Thanks for watching.

Bill

[FGLK1751]

Nice Job Bill!! and He was "dashing through the snow" right by you! Nice Job!

[basicbill1]

@FGLK1751 Certainly was. Thanks.

Bill

[whywear]

Bill,

Another awesome clip from you!

Great job...

[basicbill1]

@whywear Thanks very much.

Bill

[Tomiata]

Thanks for the neat video, and for the great locomotive engineering, guys!

[basicbill1]

@Tomiata Thanks. It certainty would not have been as entertaining without the speed and horn.

Bill

[whatihave2do]

Cool vid man. Good quality as well.

[basicbill1]

@whatihave2do Thanks a lot.

Bill

[nikosjk1]

Awesome! As much as I hate the cold I would love to go up north one winter to see scenes like this.

[basicbill1]

@nikosjk1 Sure, come on up and suffer with us. Heh. Thanks.

Bill

[DJHOGHEAD]

Bill, I am so glad you shot this video. What makes this video good is the speed of the train. Dave

[basicbill1]

@DJHOGHEAD Exactly right, Dave. And the extra horn helps a lot, too. Thanks for doing it all.

Bill

[unionpacifictrain]

nice catch, love the horn!

[basicbill1]

@unionpacifictrain Thanks. Horn was extra good.

Bill

[TrainmanEvan]

Cool catch. 

[basicbill1]

@TrainmanEvan Thank you.

Bill

[HAROLDP1969]

GREAT VIDEO!!!! WELL DONE!!!

[basicbill1]

@HAROLDP1969 Thanks!!

Bill

[IndianaRails]

Bill - I would have traded you places ANYTIME. You got the snow, and I got the ice. At least you could stand up and film the train - the wind would have "skated" me back 25-feet down here in Indianapolis! BRRRRRRRRRRR!

[basicbill1]

@IndianaRails Yeah, Ice storms are no fun at all.

Bill

[EJE670]

Great catch Bill!!!! Were you all white after he passed? Thanks for making the sacrifice!! LOL

[basicbill1]

@EJE670 Heh. No, not too bad. I'm probably going to make an "out-takes" video to show more of the action.

Bill

[LocalRailfan]

Absolutely amazing video Bill!

[basicbill1]

@LocalRailfan Thanks very much!

Bill

[1991conrail]

[basicbill1]

@1991conrail Yes it did.

Bill

[morfeusz120]

Beautifull  video! Great!

[basicbill1]

@morfeusz120 Glad you liked it.

Bill

[ozzyo1970]

WOW, that's one way to clear snow I guess, now why can't they do that over here!? lolol Nice one Bill, cheers. :-)

[basicbill1]

@ozzyo1970 Thanks for watching.

Bill

[RANDY2045]

[basicbill1]

@RANDY2045 Very good.

Bill

[broken4813]

awesome vid! thanks for the effort

[basicbill1]

@broken4813 Thank you for watching.

Bill

[philbert124]

Love it!

I had heard that Dave Hawley often gives Rich Gayne a snow job...

[basicbill1]

@philbert124 Thanks.

Bill

[canadiantimberwolf1]

That was brilliant and great filming...well worth the time and effort..

[basicbill1]

@canadiantimberwolf1 Thanks. I agree.

Bill

[NS9710]

That's arguably the best snow video I ever seen!

[basicbill1]

@NS9710 I really appreciate that.

Bill

[Creator3571]

Cool!

[basicbill1]

@Creator3571 Thanks!

Bill

[canadianzombie]

That's Awesome. Did you have to get all of that snow off of your Camera's.

[basicbill1]

@canadianzombie Thanks. Yes, the two forward facing cameras got blasted. I've had it happen before with no damage. I may produce an "out-takes" video to show what happened.

Bill

[modemeyes]

Thanks Bill -great video! Like & Fav....Mike

[basicbill1]

@modemeyes Thank you for watching.

Bill

[iusetano]

Dashing through the snow............. Excellent video Bill.

[basicbill1]

@iusetano Thanks a lot.

Bill

[dieselburner]

this is the most amazing train video ever!! I've seen other plowing videos but none like this one. I love trains and I love snow. Can't ask for anything better. :D

[basicbill1]

@dieselburner Thanks very much for that.

Bill

[TheTRAINUT]

NOW THAT TOTALY SUCKED, I thought you said he wasn't plowing much snow. looked pretty darn Inpressive to me. Now when they plow the main line In DeKalb the must of had a moron runing the train 5 MPH and thated really totaly Sucked so bad I;m pissed I waited 30 min for it. 70 MPHMain line and they only were going 05 MPH, Where dave when you need him...

[basicbill1]

@TheTRAINUT Yep, the speed made a big difference. The snow was only a few inches over the rails which you can see if you look closely. So if the train had been moving slowly it would have been a dud.

Thanks for watching.

Bill

[jdarens]

That's pretty sweet.

[basicbill1]

@jdarens Thanks a lot.

Bill

[DJHOGHEAD]

89 views in the first hour. Wow! Nice going Bill.

[basicbill1]

@DJHOGHEAD Thanks. That speed really made a difference in the video. And the horn, too.

Bill

[MonteStudios]

Thoroughly enjoyable, and kinda thrilling.

[basicbill1]

@MonteStudios Thanks. Thrilling for me too getting blasted by the flying snow.

Bill

[dwkcamman611]

Awesome catch Bill!

[basicbill1]

@dwkcamman611 Thanks.

Bill

[kelbym07]

[basicbill1]

@kelbym07 Will do.

Bill

[rykember11]

One of the best train videos on here!

[basicbill1]

@rykember11 Thanks, I appreciate that.

Bill

[UPHeritage]

Just two SD70M's is a plow train I thought it'd be the big snow plows they'd use for like 10ft drifts, but really was a powermove plow train, still awesome to see all that snow being kicked up by highballing SD70M's. Nice catch Bill

[basicbill1]

@UPHeritage Thanks. Yeah just used these two to clear the entire sub from Belvidere to West Chicago.

[DJHOGHEAD]

That was soooo cool!

[basicbill1]

@DJHOGHEAD Yeah! The best. Thanks much.

Bill

[trainmaster55]

Wow! That was awesome!

Alex

[basicbill1]

@trainmaster55 Yeah, thanks!
