Branchline Train Chase, a GE B23-7 Running On Rough Track

We chase Camas Prairie Railnet # 3 North as it leads a local from Flagg Center IL to Rockford to do some switching. The Rockford Branch is in pretty bad shape, as you will see in the video as the local bounces, and ambles along. The train runs Monday-Friday. I know the lighting isn't the best, but I had to make due with what I had. This was filmed on Thursday, 6-12-08.

where did his grain hopper go to man ? It was GONE at the very end of the video . Just wondering .

@crazydriver1869 That's because it was just a really rough crossing. By the way, this crossing has been fixed and a second track is being added to it due to a new rail interchange with the CN being put in.

at the end you can see how bad the tracks are by the way the car dipped going over them.

That must be the limit of bad tracks that a standard gauge train is able to master without derailing. Very interesting and well filmed. Thumbs up! :)

@gedebage The issue isn't motion sickness. It's being rocked to sleep that is often the problem.

Bad tracks! Why don't they fix them up?
