What happens when a college railfan has a heads up and is bored on a Saturday evening with friends? This!
Its quite fun and challenging to pace a train doing 79 mph. While I was driving down I-55, this was taken by my friend with another taking photos in the back seat. May not be the greatest quality but noteworthy nonetheless.
Taken from Normal to Towanda on UP's Joliet Sub. Amtrak 156 leading Lincoln Service 304.

Now that is a good pace! She was really high-balling ( yeah , I know they can go faster. (friggin' speed limits). The Europeans think we're in the stone age with rail travel. Anything approaching 90 m/ph (OK: 145 k/ph) is fine by me.
Stay on the ground and keep your shoes on; you'll get there soon enough. Thanks for uploading this video. I really like it. =^.^=
