TC&W / BNSF meet

Rush hour on the Cedar Lake bicycle trail paused for a TC&W train headed southwestward from downtown. The train had just turned from the BNSF mainline, at Cedar Lake junction just south of interstate 394, and then it crossed the bike trail. Both lines are single track and the junction is one simple switch. An eastbound BNSF train had to wait for the TC&W train to pass. (Note that the lead BNSF engine is still in former Santa Fe colors and the third one is still in former Burlington Northern colors.)

I posted another video last year, taken from the other side of this same crossing as a TC&W train crossed the trail. That time there was no other train to wait or meet.
