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
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.
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.
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
looks like they had you fenced in good there Walter,,liked the car wihth the track on,,,nice video
Thanks David the fence is pretty but not necessary LOL
We passed Locust Grove on our way back from Florida this month Mr. Parks!! Should've stopped by to say "Is that you Walter!"
Ross Peters Thanks would have been cool

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
Excellent deduction Thanks John
Well I figured I would make a safe assumption.
:-)

322 got a good mix of freight on there Walter

Dexter Greene Cool You will like it thanks
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?
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
Great Catch Walter
Thanks Brandon
He had to be just about maxed out on that load!
He did have his hands full Thanks Alan
That intersection looks like good spot fore an un suspecting truck to get nailed.
On that I agree LOL Thanks
Cool catch!!
Thanks :-)

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
Got my numbers wrong Walter. I suffer from banana fingers when I'm at the keyboard.! And thanks for the info too.
Gr8 Catch, Walter
Thanks buddy
You're welcome, Kind sir
Excellent catch, Walt :o)
Thanks Larry
You are so welcome, Walt! :o)

137~ wagons? Is that the norm with these kind of beasts.? Ever seen with more?
Yes I do see more sometimes but this was a long train Thanks Melvin
322 is 9075 and 9105 and 9155
Rick Casper Thanks
We need a viewing platform here; but the city is too enamored with putting in bike lanes on all the major streets.
Where is here ? Thanks

Champaign/Urbana IL; along the old IC branch line from Chicago [but now it's the main line]
WOW I DIDNT KNOW TEXACO WAS STILL AROUND
LOL Thanks
