3:57PM-
Far from Nerska and Pine Junction, I went to Valerio Road in Coal City, IL (Southwest of Joliet) to snag some BNSF Southern Transcon action. As soon as I got there, a BNSF Z-train speeds through on Main 2 with a quad-pack of Dash-9s. The reason I was here was to catch L-CHI102, the Chicago to Galesburg freight at speed. A nice pair of Cascades and an H1 lead it in excellent lighting.

BNSF GP38 #2337 (ex. BN)
BNSF GP38 #2262

4:57PM-
Later on, I went back North to Joliet to view more action. Patterson Road is a neat little location where you can see trains coming around a curve. I didn't have to wait long for this Dash-9 duo to show up with a Westbound vehicle train.

6:15PM-
The prize of this evening arrives at last. L-JOL202, a local out of BNSF's Joliet Yard has some neat power today with the leader being an ex. BN GP39E. As usual, a clean ATSF caboose brings up the rear.

  • ahhh i love that green striped unit!!

  • 4 Pack of shit meets a 3 pack of greatness!

  • Awesome Video, And These Are At My Favorite Places Including The Chillicothe And Joliet! Awesome, Keep Them Coming!

  • Another great one, especially seeing the entire train at speed. Is there a particular reason the local still uses a caboose? I can't say I remember the last time I saw one.

  • @BoxcarFrank- I figured. I went there once last summer and sat for over an hour and didn't see jack squat. Then I got kicked out of Logistics Park twice and the second time I wasn't even on their property.

  • Great stuff man!!

  • Pretty cool. :)
