Nostalgia & History > Vacation 1993...pt. 4

Here's part four of my July 1993 vacation trip. This part is all BN, and shot a little west of Rochelle Illinois. As I mentioned in one of the earlier parts there were plenty of detouring trains due to major flooding in Iowa and Missouri. This BN line under normal conditions did not see coal train action. During my three plus days there I saw nine coal or empty coal trains.

Good stuff again!! Love watching your videos!

That first consists is not what most of us think of as an A-B-A consist.

I'm trying to think where those tri-lights were, as most of the C&I was
searchlight equipped. I'm thinking some of this is just west of Milledgeville,
at lease it seems that way, althugh I could be waaaaay off.

Thanks for posting.
