Coming into Chicago on the Empire Builder. We always go through this area which I think is so cool! See train stills at www.flickr.com/photos/rickwashere and click on the set titled Trains Shots.

  • Fake? You moron, it's as real as can be. I saw it, I filmed it, lots of people who work for the railroad know it's real.

  • I KNOW they are switch heaters. The title was just a joke!

  • Cool. I never thoght the cold would be a problem but I suppose mixed with ice those switches could freeze up.

  • Nice Video. The reason why the tracks are on fire is because they have to keep those track switched heated in those brutal cold conditions.

  • @the1thatgotirwin yep i think thats why .... i don't see marty mc fly anywhere

  • it seems to me a simple way to keep switch rail free from ice, of course it is quite expensive, but it is necessary because if switch rails are frozen circulation does not occur

  • Chuck Norris Exp, arriving on track 5.

  • looks like the tracks met ghost rider
