CSXT 5383 East by the Oregon, Illinois BNSF Yard

The BNSF "Savanna-Eola" train waits on the Oregon siding as a CSXT GE ES44DC flashes by eastbound.

I was enroute to the Savanna, Illinois area when I heard some scanner chatter that got me to detour over to the yard in Oregon. What luck to find the Savanna-Eola job working as well as the Rochelle local making its way west to Polo. The ATCS Monitor showed an eastbound due to run through the yard so I set up shop to catch what was going on.

This is the first time I've video'd into the yard. Why I don't know. Driven past it dozens of times. Shot towards the bridge over the Rock River, which is just a few hundred feet east, but never the other direction.

Mid-level overcast made for some challenging lighting. But as summer wanes, I better get used to it.

Nice Job Bill! Is seeing CSX on a BNSF line rare to see?

[basicbill1]

@FGLK1751 Not too uncommon. I couldn't put a number to it, tho.
