BNSF 9167 West, on the BNSF Chillicothe sub, East of Galesburg, Illinois

About 30 minutes before sunset, a westbound EMD SD70ACe is in command of a manifest train.

The overhead view is from an old bridge a few miles east of "Yost" on the Chilli sub. According to a local that I talked with, it is scheduled for demolition in a couple of years. So get your shots while you can.

I had enjoyed a trackside barbeque with "Trainut" and a few other railfans at Cameron Junction. But I wanted to try for a few sunset grabs so left the party and drove over to this spot east of Galesburg that I had scouted via online maps.

It just struck me that you must be busier than a one legged man in a rear kicking contest turning on cameras at all these shoots. Nice job, as always!

@TheMadNorsky Yeah, it can get busy at times. These cameras were set up reasonably close so it was not too bad. When I set them up far apart is when it gets interesting.

Yes, it was talked about on the yahoo group.

Pretty neat!

He is talking about the BNSF LCHI Local 102 from BNSF GM Yard by Willow Springs to Galesburg Yard.

[railfanstreator94]

Do you mean that the train in this video was the 102???????? If so then I do believe you but that'd be hard to believe with that 9167 on the train AT ALL because usually those kinds of engines only go on Coal trains or intermodals!!!!!

@MattBNSF1991 Really? That's interesting. To and from where?

Bill

[MattBNSF1991]

That was actuallly the local is you can believe it.
