  • I work for a Rail Yard in East St Louis, Alton and Southern Railroad and we operate quite a few sw1500's and mp15s of various diffrent railroads. All the UP engines have a Computer in them for remote control operation. (thats what I do) we also have an old southern pacific engine (#1486) I operate these everyday!

  • @machapu That's awesome! You should have one them let me come up and film.

    I haven't been up to the city to film anything yet. But I would love to. I know there's always all kinds of action going on up there. A lot more busy than the River Sub or Chester Sub.

  • How did you get this shot?

  • There is a public road right off the tracks and next to the yard. I just traveled up and down the road trying to get the best shots.

    This is what it's like daily. If you ever run threw Ste. Genevieve is a nice little town to tour to.

  • It MUST be freezing a** cold there. Good footage. :)

  • It was very cold that day and windy. The temp was around -5 with the wind chill

see all
