2:38 nice catch of a Chessie System boxcar! I didn't see a Chessie system freight car in person until about 2013! 4:06 nice catch of a LMX loco! (and again on the same train at 4:53!) 5:33 nice catch of an SP loco leading, with a C&NW loco on the train too! That's also something I never saw until 2013! But I remeber seeing a train where every loco was in sP gray, except the lead unit! 6:31 WOW! An open auto carrier in 2000, thwat was actually in use! The closest thing I've ever seen to an open auto carrier outside of a museum was a covered auto carrier that was missing some of its side screens! 5:50 nice catch of CN power too! 7:59 nice catch of an all LMX lash-up! I've never seen an LMX engine in person! 12:42 nice catch of that plain black HLGX dash 7! 13:09 that lead engine was freshly painted four years prior, and it looks as dirty as some BNSF locos from 2007 onwards!
There is so much interesting material in that video... we could go on for days. This is probably one of the best post merger Illinois videos on the tube. The open auto racks, the trackage rights meet around 6:00, all those coils, even the allied van lines container... ( I forgot they tried that ) thanks for posting.
Back when BNSF had a lot of pre-merger power still used on main-line trains. Now you occasionally see a Warbonnet, which is the only thing BNSF has that is close to being a "Heritage Unit", there may be a couple of BN's here and there but still. I also liked that UP train that had a couple of old SP units, one being a "Tunnel Motor", probably a Cotton Belt, and a CNW unit on top of that. BTW, miss the old Santa Fe "Super Shock Control" boxcars.
Yeah, considering that the covered autoracks that we know today were introduced sometime in the mid 70's I believe. First they were wide open, then they put sides on them, then they were fully covered.
sweet. those where the days. I never realized in the 90's just how fast the locomotives that was so common in the 90's would be replaced. Pity the new stuff is less exciting and have less exciting sound effects.
I wish that Streator was included in the video. Quite the surprise seeing Missal in the video, that I do believe is an old NYC single track stretch from Streator going through Dwight, heading to Kankakee.

You really can't beat the SF livery. Both schemes looked fantastic. Shame there's so few heritage locos.

crazy to see an uncovered autorack in 2000
No Na Me now we know what’s it like from the inside of an Autorack car,just three rows of pickup trucks, mini vans and cars

A race on a curve. Cool.

At 2:44 you can spot a Santa Fe boxcar with "Super Shock Control" on it. Good way to advertise to the shippers.
Neat Stuff! Thanks for sharing
I didn’t know BNSF Dash 9-44CW locomotives were new by then 1:05 ,
No, no, March 2000 can't be 18 years ago! (Nice video, btw!)
