View from my office.
Author: hank

We have slowed down to allow time for the westbound 2 X 2 stack train to clear the crossovers at Ormonde, Illinois MP 192 on the BNSF Chillicothe sub.   After the meet, we get the line up and crossover to main one and proceed east in 2008.

Thanks for viewing.

Great video. The track needed some maintenance, quite a few dips with slurry pumping out. Stay safe.

That video is 12 years old. You can’t even take video from the cab anymore when you’re on the job.

The signal bridges were still up in 2008?!?  It seems like longer that they've been gone.  Was there last Friday and the od BNSF Signal Department mailbox was gone.  Got skunked too, drat.

Thanks for posting.

I wondered bout that  . .  guess rules have tightened up but a disappointment for us rail fans as you don't see that very often

There were several signal bridges still up when I retired in mid '09. The signal dept. seemed to concentrate on changing the intermediate signals and creating the new crossovers at Wilbern MP 120 and Monica MP 148.
