Union Pacific 8400 West on 9-02-09

An EMD "Ace" leads a westbound stack train toward Morisson, Illinois.

Another video from along the Union Pacific's Geneva sub. I tend to neglect the UP even though it's very accessible. The town in the distance is Round Grove, Illinois. And a bit of 3X speed up in the middle to save you a couple of minutes.

Great video, as always the case with your work. A question? Both the UP trains you recently shot this location seemed to be traveling at reduced speeds. Speed limitations, track work, any ideas of why they are going so slowly?

Thanks. I'm not sure why, but I hardly ever see UP trains moving on the Geneva sub at any decent speed. You would think the westbound ones would, but no.

Thanks for the comment. I use two Canon HV30 HD cameras.
