Chicagoland Junction Series: Blue Island Crossing, 11-13-09.

[ByCracky3]

Why would you say the area is 'plagued' with the BC Rail units? Makes it sound like a bad thing!

[Feltmountainbiker]

Nice vid man!!!!

[Timrathmore]

I found somthing to watch for all the time perfect, amazing! , My layout is inspired by Blue island. The people and the trains make America great.

[ooOOOOooSuperPower]

That is a cool place to watch trains! I wish my camera had such good quality video as yours.

[bnfan11]

[thebesttrainvids]

[RailsandRoads]

[dwkcamman611]

Geez you got really lucky with that BC Rail catch, sweet.

[HyperActive7]

There's something you don't see everyday and it's a LONG way from home.

Not to mention the fact it's going the wrong way and getting FARTHER away from home!

[AVtrainz1998]

@HyperActive7 business trip?

[PaulPeirceFan]

frank you've never seen a bc on the point because for a while CN wouldnt let them lead because they didnt have a microwave in the cab

[12engines]

Looks like a nice place to RailFan, Friday the 13th was lucky for You as well.

[trainfart]

Hey, Frank!

Thanks for take my breathe away ;)

[gameover340]

cool video

[clinton984]

5*.  Great shots and location and nice BC Rail catch!

[legominifigure7]

lol at 0:05 the birds are playing chicken with the train lol.

[montyvox0510]

I heard the reason why the BC Rail engines don't lead, is per the union, they need a microwave oven in the engine, and the BC Rail units don't have that.

That's what I read, don't hold me to it.

[larry84988]

finally caught a BC Rail leading huh frank, ha ha sweet :)

[SFLRailFan]

Great video, Frank. Thanks for finally making it back to Blue Island Jct. I was really missing that great place. Yeah, Hick Tower, CP 502, and Pine Jct. are cool, but there's something about B.I. that I prefer. Excellent job. Five Stars and Fav'd. ;-)

[EJE670]

The usual Great stuff!! Thanks Frank.

[modemeyes]

One of the best Blue Island video's I've seen. 5*

[alienwareufo]

What kind of locomotive was that at 4:00?

[larry84988]

C44-9W, BC Rail Locomotives have an extra pair of ditch lights

[spacecalander]

Wow, alot of tracks and good action, great job frank!

[GhostFearMe]

awesome action..Blue Island always delivers with every vid i see

[UniversalRailfanner]

Wow that BNSF horn is amazing!

[moon47mars]

That is a K3HA horn. I herd that BNSF got bought by some guy. That's just what I herd. Long live BNSF!!!!

[CPManJoe]

Yea, by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world. It's probably good for BNSF.

[NSwannabeEngineer]

Love the BC Rail unit still representing it's famed K5H horn!

[csxketh1]

Do you have a scanner?

[BoxcarFrank]

Yes.

[masonclan]

@BoxcarFrank this was filmed three days before my birthday wow

[trainzandbridgez101]

Great catch with the BCOL! That's usually only up here in Canada.

[NSwannabeEngineer]

Not anymore since the BC Rail buyout with CN who owns many U.S. railroads that once ran to and from the Chicago Area.
