TRAINS GALORE AT GALESBURG!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!! IC SD40-2!!!!!!

The amount of power at BNSF's Galesburg, IL. Yard was unbelievable. There's well over 40 engines in this scene. I couldn't believe my eyes. There's so much to look at.

The temperature was below ten degrees today. The wind chill made it below zero. My hands and feet were in extreme pain when I got back into the car (even with gloves and boots). BRRRRR!

The two biggest catches in the yard were an Illinois Central SD40-2 and a Ferromex ES44AC!

Wow, Nick! This was definitely worth freezing your hands and feet off for (LOL! well.. maybe not!). If you estimate each unit to be 3000 HP, just for fun, you're looking at 120,000 total HP. Unreal! Great capture. Glad to see that the IC still has some Operation Lifesaver logo'ed units too. Stay warm, man! :o)

Thank you very much, Dave!

120,000 HP is absolutely unreal! I was also very glad to see that the Illinois Central logo. When CN repaints it, they should keep the logo on there!

Take care!

If you think this is a lot of power you should see Barstow or North Platte.
