WOW - What a video you made here! I am amazed at the action you caught, and you inspired me to make the drive from Ohio to JB Tower. Incredible how close you got to the diamonds to film. Are they tolerant of railfans there? Where would I park and set up to film at JB? Thanks so much for your help!
In all my years, I have never seen a locomotive like the UP #904 and #909 you show at the beginning. Can they still be seen running there today? I would love to see them!
That is JB Tower where the CN (Ex-EJE) crosses the UP (Ex-CNW) cross. It is in West Chicago, Il and yes it is still operational. Was fortunate enough to witness a CN Train coming to a crawl and grab train orders from the tower operator just like they did back then. That train had one of the CN Veterans units and an Ex-citirail on it as well!
Nice!
Nice video sir!
Thanks Man!
