Two Camera Angles!! BNSF Z-CHCPTL8 Races Under the Wooden Bridge Near Mt Morris, IL!!

I happened upon the old wooden bridge when out and about near Mt Morris and Oregon. The location is roughly mile post 105.10 on the Aurora Subdivision.
This BNSF Z-ChCPTL8 came racing underneath me around 4:15 pm on its way to the Willbridge Yard in Portland, Oregon from the BNSF Intermodal Facility in Cicero.
My wife assisted me in making the video. She shot the footage on the side of the tracks about half way down the hill.
This bridge was built in the early 1900’s at cross over the former CB&Q Railroad which is now owned by BNSF. This bridge divides the towns of Mt Morris and Oregon, IL. As of Spring 2020 the bridge had been maintained by local folks.
There is a small park that sits next the top of the bridge that is kept impeccable. Apparently there is lights there that illuminate the tracks at night. I’ll have to check it out one of these evenings.
The second angle video immediately follows the initial one. I didn’t want to put a split screen or cut back and forth. I feel that’s more distracting.

I love the two angles! That looks like such a cool place to film. Always nice when the engineer gives out a horn salute. Thank you for the work you do on the videos. Have a good day, Michael S.
