  That's really neat. I love the sound of a train horn off in the distance at night. To me, it sounds so sad and lonely. Just curious, Where did you find the music you use in your intros? It sounds familiar to me.

  Instead of putting washers under the trucks, I have used offset shank couplers to either raise or lower the coupler head as needed. It works well and eliminates the potential screw problems. Also I sometimes cheat and if possible put larger wheels in the trucks. (36' instead of 33") The differenc...

Impressive video! Really neat watching that thing! I saw it pass through Kewanee. Wished I would've chased it to Galesburg. If it ever comes this way again, I definitely will.

  @TheRickRod There are wide shoulders on both sides of the bridge. I would almost call it a 4-lane bridge. ( the road leading to it is 2-lane.) Plenty of room to park safely on the bridge, get out of your vehicle and take pictures. One of my favorite train watching spots!
