Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF Galesburg, IL Questions

Good Morning:

How many trains per day run over each route into Galesburg? Which Subdivision handles the most traffic? (I assume it is the Chillicothe Subdivision).

I once read the yard at Galesburg was the second-busiest on their system, only behind Argentine. Is that still the case?

Lastly, what is the longest crew district that runs into or our of Galesburg?

It has been several years since I have visited Galesburg, but it is definitely one of my favorite places.

Thank you in advance.

at least a 100 trains a day. with 7 lines out of town very busy. Transcon the busiest

Wow. Thank you for the list.

How many of those trains use the former Burlington line to and from Kansas City?

 This would be the Brookfield Sub  thru Quincy IL and Macon MO  .
which is the alternate to the Marcelien sub thru La Plata MO
-----Daniel

Longest crew district would probably be the Galesburg-Cresson and the Galesburg-Centralia
