BNSF and Amtrak Action around Cameron IL

This location is about 10 miles west of Galesburg. This area is cool because both the transcon and the ex-bn coal line are visible. There is a very busy connection between the two lines that adds a little spice to the nonstop action. That connection and the high speeds are what set this location apart from downtown galesburg at peck park. Once again, please excuse the talking in the background.

OMG BN locos don't have flashing ditch lights nor does BNSF why this loco

[tylerwinks]

That is kindof of wierd how they start a while after he starts blowing eh. I have no idea why.

I don't know too much about locomotives, but I'm pretty sure the first is a sd70mac and the second is an es44ac.

i kno all my loco's but out of all BNSF trains you seen did any of the lead engines Es44dc's,Dash 9-44's, SD70macs etc did any of them have flashing ditch lights

[tylerwinks]

nothing that i can remember, but I guess I have seen in other videos sd70macs with flashing ones.

Railroading is one of mankind's finest offerings. :)

I wish I understood the interest in the trains. I guess living so close to them, I just don't pay very good attention (the train hid my house from view). You weren't kidding about nonstop action from the trains here! ;)

Great clips. Rare to see a MAC on the point of a coal train anymore.
