Eola 8/11/08: M BRCGAL takes off!!! Finally they put some good power on the Brick-Gal again... Two Cascade Green dash-2's (BNSF 7000, and BNSF 6797). They were givven permission from the dispatcher to get moving almost an hour before they actually took off. It's amazing what you can see in 5 minutes. Not only look at the cool engines in the yard, but if you were to fast forward through the video, look at the sky. Tags: BRCGAL Brick Gal BNSF 7000 Cascade Green Dash |

ULTIMATE PHOAMING MUST SEE!!!!! Well, as I said with the Amtrak video, I was under the impression that the storms would miss us to the south west, turns out I was wrong... I waited the storm out and in the process saw 5 trains, this being the last of the 5. The Z STPCHC1 06 had some really cool power, even though they dropped an engine at Eola. A GP60M on the point, and a Dash 2 second out. This was filmed under the Yackley Road bridge. The storms got to the point where I had to put the camera away in my pocket because of the wind and intense rain. The storms cleared out about 15 minutes after this was shot. Please enjoy! ~My spot 8/9/08 Tags: Major fucking storm BNSF GP60M Dash SD40-2 SPTCHC1 |

3 BN's at Lisle!!!!! This was a sweet train. The "U CSXBRE1 10" usually has a few CSX engines, but today it had a 3 pack of Cascade Greens!!! Two SD60M's and a Dash 2! BNSF 8180 was in charge. Here it is seen going through Lisle on main 1 with a train stopped at the Belmont Holding Point on main 2. Tags: CSXBRE1 10 BN SD60M SD40-2 Pipe Train Lisle IL |

Amtrak #3 with a suprise at the end! You can hear me say in complete sarcasm, "Yay, its an Amtrak!!!" I was fucking pissed that the storms hit us. I thought they would miss us to the south west, but i was wrong. At the end you can see an Amcal Superliner bringing up the rear, it had no people in it. Tags: Big storm Amcal Lisle IL |

Yard Job at Eola. The yard job pulls out of Eola at a steady pace, stops, then shoves back in. That sounded sexual... BNSF 1224 and EMDX 779 are doing it. Tags: GP28M GP38-2 Yard Local Aurora Mc Clure |
