[@JonathanTuom]

Sweet Video Walter,
Judging by the ballast cars at 2:45 and the track on the car at 3:50, I would say that there will be some track work being done somewhere.
Great Job.
John

[@pwalpar]

Excellent deduction Thanks John

[@JonathanTuom]

Well I figured I would make a safe assumption.
:-)

[@howarth004]

322 got a good mix of freight on there Walter

[@pwalpar]

I agree thanks Dave

[@stephensmith799]

What a GREAT location name 'Locust Grove'. Sounds like a name given by a farmer to his most cursed plot of land. See any locusts?

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Stephen. The name is derived from A local tree called a locust tree. These type trees are famous for using as fence post that wont rot

[@BrandonGarbage23Trucks247]

Great Catch Walter

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Brandon

[@AlanCSXFan]

He had to be just about maxed out on that load!

[@pwalpar]

He did have his hands full Thanks Alan

[@billchapel5248]

That intersection looks like good spot fore an un suspecting truck to get nailed.

[@pwalpar]

On that I agree LOL Thanks

[@adam62060]

Cool catch!!

[@pwalpar]

Thanks :-)

Hi Walter, got a question for you. Some wagons have vertical frames on them (as at 8.02) but I can never make out if they're part of the wagon or part of the freight! Originally I thought that they might be a special wagon for leaning sheets of something against - steel perhaps. Maybe they're just transporting frames. Stop frame hasn't been much help.

[@pwalpar]

No 8:02 in this video Bob but it sounds like you are talking about center beam lumber cars like the one at 3:19

[@Bobcatonline]

Got my numbers wrong Walter. I suffer from banana fingers when I'm at the keyboard.! And thanks for the info too.

[@EIRR1]

Gr8 Catch, Walter

[@pwalpar]

Thanks buddy

[@EIRR1]

You're welcome, Kind sir

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

Excellent catch, Walt :o)

[@pwalpar]

Thanks Larry

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

You are so welcome, Walt! :o)

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

During your years working in the train yards did you ever see or catch fellows doing the graffiti on the rolling stock? I know it is considered defacing, but some of it sure is pretty neat.

[@pwalpar]

They are pretty sneaky about doing it when RR Workers are around usually they do it in the dark, I have came by while the paint was still wet but never caught them

[@MelvinCaruana]

137~ wagons? Is that the norm with these kind of beasts.? Ever seen with more?

[@pwalpar]

Yes I do see more sometimes but this was a long train Thanks Melvin

[@Sparetire01]

322 is 9075 and 9105 and 9155

[@pwalpar]

Rick Casper Thanks

[@Silver_Turtle]

We need a viewing platform here; but the city is too enamored with putting in bike lanes on all the major streets.

[@pwalpar]

Where is here ? Thanks

[@Silver_Turtle]

Champaign/Urbana IL; along the old IC branch line from Chicago [but now it's the main line]

[@meee7771]
