Welcome to my channel!! A little info about myself - I began railfanning about 8 years ago & started this channel on Memorial Day 2021. My videos are from a variety of locations; mostly in northern & central Illinois, but I also have footage from Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Ohio & Pennsylvania. I try to add facts or points of interests that might be in those area or maybe even a good place to drop in for a bite to eat. My favorite rail line is the Chillicothe Subdivision due to its high daily volume; between 60 - 80. It’s been nicknamed The Intermodal Superhighway & it’s part of the BNSF Southern Transcon. The Chicago Line in Northern Indiana is runner up. Hopefully this is a place you can come and spend as much time as you wish to enjoy trains. Even if it’s only for a few minutes at a time. No worries, concerns or politics here. All are welcome!! Please feel to subscribe!! Hope you enjoy!!!
That is interesting. I used to drive up and down I-39 everyday. I never would have guessed there was coal anywhere in that vicinity. Love me some elephant style!! Thank you David!
You got me thinking about that. I’m trying to remember when I’ve seen any outbound reefer boxes lately. It’s been awhile that I’ve personally seen them. Thanks for watching!! I truly appreciate it!!
Very interesting to see a caboose on a modern train. I know that they are sometimes used on trains that run in reverse to provide a safer platform for the conductor.
Great video Dave. I believe the tank cars originated in Peoria from the ADM alcohol plant. They are destined for the BP refinery in Whiting Indiana. Some me be delivered to the Citgo refinery in Romeoville. Just a hunch, maybe I'm wrong.
I’ll completely take your word for it John. I have very little knowledge about this rail line. I really appreciate your input. I truly mean that. Thanks for watching!!!
