A somewhat rare move, a BNSF Coal train heads up the lightly used Norfolk Southern Federal District, AKA the Alton Branch. I chased the train from Just North of the NS yard in Granite City, IL to Wood River, IL where the tracks turn away from the road and become inaccessable for the remaining 7/8's of a mile to the power plant in Alton, IL. This is a weekly train, and is not on a set Scehdule
