CN and CP Train in Chicagoland

Here is a video I made with a CN train and a CP train that I filmed in the Chicagoland area with CN train L53691 at 111th/Pullman station during Pullman Railroad Days and CP train 340 at Rondout, IL.

Do you know of any way to figure out what a train is carrying thx

[@AmtrakandAWVRFan]

There’s really no way to know a specific item a train is carrying just by looking at it, but you can get a general idea based on the type of car.
UP actually has a list of types of cars on their site. www.up.com/customers/track-record/tr181121_rail_car_types.htm
