HOLY COW!!!! I need to go to Blue Island. I love the action. I lost count of how many different rail companies I saw at around 8 or 9. Keep it up.

[TheMusicvidgirl]

I live one block away from there!!!! XD

[sch6921]

WOW! How many trains go through there during a 24 hour period?

Do the railroad security people tell you guys anything when you are out there filming?

I heard from some railfans that they got alot of flap from those security guys about filming.

[TheDylanJoyce]

5:14 WHAT WAS THAT THING!!!!

[TheDylanJoyce]

[amtrakrules52]

Hey we got a 1503 switcher just like that Harbor unit! Nice catches!

[TommyBNSF]

Man, soon I'll have my license, and I'll drive up there with you or some of the others.

[NicTrain35]

When do you get your license again? Yeah, you definitely wouldn't regret a trip to Blue Island!

[meerkatmandude]

Wow, great video.

That is a very busy area.

[NicTrain35]

Thanks!

Yep, this is the hottest spot, currently, in Illinois. I can't wait to see how busy it is when the economy picks up!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Probably a good 200 easy a day.

[SWIFT95330]

I like the Iowa Interstate. Nice looking trains. Great clips here...how about adding some tags, so people will find it?

[NicTrain35]

Thanks, Robert! I added some tags before uploading, but I wasn't sure if they showed up. They should be there now.

[NicTrain35]

Yep, the IAIS is one of my most favorite railroads.

[SWIFT95330]

Cool, I see them there now. Before I only saw one. That should get all the right people looking!!

[timsideas]

That is a fantastic spot. I only have a main line of Union Pacific here in California. I'm lucky to catch a train going by. Oh, I did caught a Loram working as it past me one day. But your spot is out of this world. Thanks for sharing.

[NicTrain35]

Thank you! What UP line do you live by?

[timsideas]

I work near a place on industrial Ave. North of Roseville California. I thick its the Madurmit or something line of the UP. I can only catch a train while on break or lunch time. So I'm near the track for a short time to video. I live in Sacramento.

[DHancockProductions]

It's great to see a BCR SD40-2 running, even if it is in Illinois. CN must have pulled it out of retirement due to the Gevo problem.

Great footage!

[NicTrain35]

Thank you, David! Yep, it sure was a nice surprise. I just hope that it's not on its way to getting the torch.

[Seanbox344]

Wow I haven't seen a conrail around here in years. Nice to see they still have their former paint. :D

[NicTrain35]

Yep, we see them every so often around here. Hopefully, it continues!

You won't regret it if you visit Blue Island. The neighborhood isn't the best, but the junction area is relatively safe. As long as you're not there at night, you'll be fine.

[paprna]

Paradise fors fans :)

[NicTrain35]

Yep, definitely paradise at Blue Island Junction!
