Whitefaces and BNSF H1 on the NS Fort Wayne Line, plus manifest in emergency (with radio chatter) and a crispy AC44C6M

Nice to see the police car (maybe two) in the vacant land under the overpass......was it "donut time" ???

Great spot to catch the train movement Dan. The only long freight trains we have here in Queensland, Australia are coal trains coming out of central Queensland open-cut mines to export ports along the coastline.

Really enjoy watching your videos.

The police cars were actually my car and that of other railfans (the first video was shot across two days); the area under the overpass is a great parking spot that allows us to quickly get back on the highway if we decide to chase a train. Even if the trains are long, the power is somewhat ho-hum; at least in Australia there is potential for EMD and Alco power, at least from what I have seen on YouTube. Thank you!

Thank you Joe! Westbounds on track 2 always sound pretty good getting up to speed.

Here's a better cropping of 55K passing the 11,000-foot long 12Q.

This was the gathering when the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern heritage unit and a GECX prototype ET44AC came through on a westbound oil train. There were three other cars on my side of the tracks, or all told, about fifteen people.
