WOW!! Peck Park Packed With Trains

Often you can see three trains running at the same time in Peck Park Galesburg, IL, but rarely four. It happened April 9th, 2010.

1. BNSF and CSX lead the GALCSX EB on the Chillicothe sub.
2. BNSF yard switcher has brought out freight cars on one of the Mendota sub tracks.
3. BNSF and KCS pull an empty coal train on the other Mendota sub track.
4. Back on the Chili sub, two BNSF motors pull a WB freight.

Mostly 4 an hour, on a real good day, 5 an hour

Yes it counts. And I believe I said there were four and listed them. Just that is something that rarely happens. We've seen 3 a lot, but tough to get four. Thanks for the comment.

At 2:18 You can See the 4th Train Coming in. If You Watch You can see the other Train on the other side of That Coal Train [ between the Cars] on the Top Tracks. What a great day This Day turned out to be. You have an excellent Video of this rare Event Bob!!!! The fact that Traffic has been down for so long makes this Catch even sweeter. Awesome is right! There were also 7 Trains in a span of 25 Minutes [These 4 being part of that Mix] as well. Awesome Catch Bob.

OK - excuse me for pointint out the obvious here - - - that would be four (4) trains, not three --- the switcher was moving and that counts. Great catch, and some nice coverage. Action-packed day indeed.
