No there are some E bells on this line that sound like this,so I dont think its on its last leg.....Carrol is about 40 miles northwest of DM Its at MP259. So 259 miles from Chicago I gotta get over there sometime to shoot trains......
hmm, sounds like the crossing there in Carroll was on its last legs. How far is Carroll from the Illinois line? I just want to know if it is closer to Chicago or Des Monies.
For the record the UP is putting alot of those "bells" on the crossings, they usually turn off when the gates are completley lowered. As far as getting the red signal there, it isnt required for him to stop but his ATC dropped and for that you must immediatley go into suppression or get a penalty application. The signals in carrol are not absolute signals.
What do you mean his ATC dropped? Even though these aren't absolute signals he isn't getting by without the dispatchers permission, right? I'm not very familiar with ATC.
In ATC you can go by an intermediate red without stopping...
He may have only had an advanced approach, but the ATC will make you stop if you're above 40 mph going by an advance approach or anything more restrictive...
Well to be honest, you probably only get about 50-60 trains a day through here. These trains were by at 6:50 am, 7:13, 7:34, 7:38 and 10:34 am, with 3 other trains in between the 4th and 5th.
I wish you had more trains! and them be moving faster!
I'm sorry but as an employee at the Carroll Wal-Mart this is the WORST and I mean WORST place in the world to put a train! But to be fair Wal-Mart came second...what were THEY thinking is the question...I'm glad they are re-locating...but I will miss the old store!!!
LOL that train would scare the crap outta me (even when I worked there) because there would be no warning it would be coming and as SOON as it went past the building it would blare its horn, making the sound unbearable lol.
it a messed up wch e-bell or a real slow ring one sound like a type 1 but not for sure up got these bells at gore ave in webster even at 8:08 that wch e-bell too great video
Love the horns on the first two!

The economy has done that. If we ever get out of this recession, you can bet "monster trains" will be back on the rails again.

Train #1. Rare to see the entire consist with 4 UP SD70ACe units!
Train #2. I bet they're starting to appear more than the SD70Ms in the lead!
Train #3. The usual AC4400CW units appearing on those Coal Trains.
Train #4. Same for that one.
Train #5. Nice!
