back in august of 1983 we chased a TP&W westbound across the river and into the yard at Ft. Madison. had a C424 in the consist.we chased the TPW from Ind all the way through Illinois. then in 1994-96 we chased the brand new red/silver warbonnets across Ill. to Ft. Madison. Yost, Galesburg,Cameron,Chilicothe,Streator,Joliet were among the locations that were filmed here. we saw GP20s-30s-35s-38s on inter-model, what a treat.

Nicely filmed, edited and narrated! However, I can't help but notice the sound seems a bit low. I don't know if it's just me, but even with the video and my computer at full volume, it's still rather quiet.

@ThornappleRiverRailSeries 7 жыл бұрын

Indeed. Editing this was a bit of a headache. Back then, Movie Maker didn't have an option to increase volume in a track, only decrease. So I had to reduce the sound from the video so the narration could be heard. Now with PowerDirector I can increase the narration and that means the volume for the whole thing is higher. Someday, I will re-master this video. But otherwise, it is stuck like this due to the limits of what I had to work with at the time. Thanks for watching!

Also, I live not far from the former ATSF line in Chicago. The one-time four-track (six in spots if you include the ex-GM&O) speedway to Dearborn Station is not "torn up." In fact, ATSF connects to a number of other roads in the city east of Corwith. The southern two mains, ostensibly eastbound mains, were sold to the CTA for the Orange Line for part of the distance.

The BNSF Mendota Subdivision runs as far east as Aurora, where it iterchanges with the BNSF Aurora Subdivision. The BNSF Chicago Subdivision shares the last 31 miles of trackage rights with BNSF, NS, CSX, Amtrak, and Metra before interchanging with the NS Chicago Line in downtown Chicago. From what I hear, the NS Chicago Line runs full double track from Chicago as far east as Cleveland, Ohio, and ends single track in Erie, Pennsylvania. i have no idea where the full double track portion of the line heads off once it leaves Cleveland. But I did a little bit of railfanning up in Cleveland when I was on my way to the airport. And I saw at least 25 trains. And it can get pretty busy there. I also saw 6 heritage units. I didn't have enough space to get the videos, but I got pics of NS 8099, 8103, 1068, 1074, 8025, and 8102.

Pretty good stuff. I was in various places there yesterday (9/20/2016), traveling from the south in Central Illinois. Sometimes you just don't know what's going to happen on that line, as there was maintenance work underway between 130 and 121, pretty much effectively shutting down everything. I did find something on a walk tho.... If you go to the curve on Santa Fe Road (west Chilli-ish around your 35:00 mark) and walk west up to where the oiler is, you can get a nice shot of an s-curve as they come down grade. I was just a bit reluctant to drive up there, and I really didn't want to port larger cameras and tripods, and chairs for that matter, up there. (I shoot multiple Sony PMW-EX-3's with bigger Anton Bauer battery packs on them so, they are "hefty"). But seriously, I like the ambition and the effort you put into this!!!

Long live my swing bridge and keep on tracking bnsf!!!!

Usually, the barges go through the other side, closer towards Iowa. Over the years, the channel has shifted, making it difficult for barges to get through. I had heard that this bridge was being considered as an obstacle to navigation. Recently, the BNSF bridge to the north at Burlington was replaced span by span, with a lift span allowing barge passage.

@ThornappleRiverRailSeries 9 жыл бұрын

polyrhythmia Yeah, and they did start evaluating it for replacement. Thing is, it doesn't have the structural limits the Burlington bridge had, so BNSF sounds content to keep the status quo. After all, they own the bridge, and even get tolls from it! Sounds like a replacement bridge would be a lift, and probably still be double-decked.

Intermodal is the shipment of goods via more than one form of transportation, be it rail, water, truck, and so on. Typically it involves the international standard shipping containers, which is what we're referring to with intermodal trains. Typically they are just moving the containers, but sometimes they move truck trailers as well.
