OK - sweet video! The CN freights comming over the fly-over were out-of-the-frame GREAT. The background lights and clouds made it appear as if the moon was backlighting the train. Very, very SWEET! Nice job all the way through.
Yeah, I figured since they climbed up the embankment. I dont care if they trespass. I do it too. I don't even care if they tagged the trains. They probably didn't even go into the yard.
@DaftStrings Same for much of the St. Louis region. A bloody shame, but makes it a real treat when the engineer decides to give a quick blast of compressed air none the less for track side rail fans.
I know that I don't know your situtation or that of your friend, but I am sorry that you did not report those you saw trespassing. As fans, I feel that we owe the railroads our eyes when we see something that is dangerious. Hopefully they were only tagers and not something more 9-11ish.
CN Doesnt Own SD70ACe's. They're SD70M-2's. CSX, Union Pacific, KCS & BNSF Are the only Class I RailWays To Own SD70ACe's. CP has neither. Norfolk Southern & Canadian National own SD70M-2's.

From what I know, BNSF 4801 was wrecked and scrapped at some point prior to the time this was filmed. Maybe you saw 4810 or 4901.

You know you're in lousy NE Illinois when: The whole metro area is a quiet zone for trains.
What do you mean by 'foam'?
