Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF Transcon - Chillicothe, IL (Illinois River Bridge) 6-6-21Date: 06/07/21 05:28 BNSF Transcon - Chillicothe, IL (Illinois River Bridge) 6-6-21 Author: flippin77 Hadn't fished on the IL River in a while so threw Lil Chico (the drone) in the boat. Pretty impressive, 9 trains in 2.5 hours on the Chilli Sub.
Look me up on YT for some other stuff I've shot. Thanks for watching! Andy Metamora, IL Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/07/21 05:36 by flippin77.

I always wondered what the bridge and adjacent terrain looked like. Thanks for sharing!

You used to be able to get in to the east side of that bridge on the ground but it got gated off several years ago. This is about the only way you can shoot this bridge now, at least without tresspassing..

Z trains run by Chillicothe @ 60+ mph regularly with no apparent reduction for the bridge.

Dad, my uncle, and I used to fish around there since my uncle lived not too far away. Always found it to be a little hit and miss on the fish, but always a good day out on the boat.
