Amtrak Slams The Diamond, Union Pacific Local Knocks Down The Signal, RR Diamonds In Bloomington Ill

Railroad Diamond Action In Bloomington, Illinois On Union Pacific Railroad & 4 Amtrak Trains Including New Paint Scheme! Local Switcher Doing Railroad Switching On The Grain Spur Knocks Down The Signal, ( Drops To Red ) & Over Head View Of Long Intermodal Train Slamming The Railroad Diamond. This Park Is Right Where 3 Railroad Lines Come Together At The Railroad Yard. Bike Trail Goes Right Over The Track With A Perfect View Of The Diamond.
Busy Railroad Diamond In Illinois. I got 4 Amtrak trains passing through here, I got a local switcher reversing down a grain elevator spur and returning long hood forward. I also caught a long intermodal train going over the railroad diamond and under me. Check out that awesome view that was filmed from a bridge over the track. The bridge is on a bike trail. I show the bridge up close, the bike trail and the park. This is my first time to ever be in Bloomington, Illinois. I spent the night here after filming a couple days in Iowa. See my videos of the Empress steam locomotive with the Final Spike Steam Tour on the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Southern Railway.
Check out the old railroad signals in this video. I was able to get them changing on video as the train passed. I stopped here as an impulse on the way home. I was getting sleepy and noticed a railroad diamond on the map so I got a motel and checked out the diamond the next day which is at a park in the city. This park is a perfect place for railfans. The only issue is parking. The only available parking is on street parking in front of peoples homes. There are a few spots in front of a couple of businesses by the railroad crossing but I think they had a two hour limit. After looking at the maps of the area again I think the old train station used to be on the park side of the railroad instead of across the road. I had to figure out my directions.
Also, the line that goes under the pedestrian/bike trail bridge has concrete cross ties while the other tracks have wooden ties. God blessed me with some great timing on the trains, putting me in the right spots at the right times and I pass this fortune on to my viewers for viewing pleasure.
Filmed Tuesday, July 2, 2024 in 1080p with 60fps. Thanks for watching!
