A few days before you shot this video, a week or two at the most. I think that work train was running around Streator. They were working on our Main Street crossing.
nice shooting as always Frank. nice to see as busy as Joliet is the people just standing around next to the edge of platform at the end.... thank god nothing come scooting by.
We have heard that the new Joliet facility will NOT be called 'global' anything - and all bets seem to be that it will be named for the UP's CEO, just as the silly-named 'Global 3' in Rochelle is actually named after Ike Evans, a single-term CEO that didn't do much.
We shall see who is correct when the actual naming happens,
They're building a new intermodal yard, named "Global 4." They already have 3 others, "Global 1-3." The name generally means it's a major intermodal hub for the U.S.
I quess the Amtrak power department is feeling pretty good about their product these days sending the Eagle out of Dallas with just a single unit. I remember when they would run three each way to that one would be running at the end.
Amtrak makes the diner-lounge serve as a lounge when they don't have the sightseer lounge.

I never got why they don't spot anything on the platform tracks...not like they don't have room.
