I was there. Me and my papa saw it pull in and we drove to see it by that crossing at the end of your video
I do love them Big boys 👍
I grew up in watseka graduated in 79. J Ellis❤
Traditionally it's 4 longs (Eastbound) on the whistle chain to call in the flagman. i dont think that'd be req these days, but a nice touch anyhow.
Stopped in Momence for over 1/2 hour b4 Watseka
Why is the diesel engine in there? I thought they fixed it so that it was not necessary.
Probably "just in case", and the diesel loco is cute
The diesel is "insurance" in case of a breakdown. They also use its dynamic braking when descending steep grades. Saves wear on the brake shoes of Big Boy and the rest of the train.
