Railfanning the UP And BNSF w/ UP 2001/2002 at the Rochelle Railroad Park + more 11/25/17

Описание: The long holiday weekend meant an extra day for Railfanning. I went to the Rochelle Railroad Park for most of the morning catching a eastbound vehicle train on the BNSF Aurora sub in Steward on the way there. Among the catches at the Rochelle Railroad Park include a eastbound BNSF grain train with A SD70ACe and CREX Gevo leading and a faded H2 paint SD70MAC DPU plus the IG2G2 stack train going to Global 3 with the Union Pacific SD70M Olympic duo 2001/2002 leading. I went up to Chana (I caught one there but forgot to put it in this video) and Oregon on the BNSF Aurora sub hoping to catch a couple but the line can be dead and only caught one. I then caught a UP coal empty going on the CP Chicago sub near Leaf River, IL west of Byron. It was overall a good day. Enjoy and don't forget to comment and subscribe!!!
