I thank you for viewing...!!!

Thank-You! The Wisconsin Southern just kept on moving the trains. This was the most that I have ever seen in such a short time span. Thank-You for viewing and commenting...!!!

You have better eyes than myself! Yeah, a detector for Myrtle as well as the rest of the Elmhurst crossings. They are all tied together for safety! Thank-you for viewing and commenting...!!!

Hi! Yes, it was a good afternoon for trains, and talking about trains. I hope the rest of your trip goes safely. Thank-You for visiting Elmhurst Illinois. The place that we were watching from may soon get developed and this sort of train watching might be impossible in the future!

For a "gate clip" this one turned out nice. Thank-You for viewing, commenting, as well as contemplating the algorithm.....

I Thank-You very much for watching! Hopefully, with the nicer weather, I'll be able to get a greater amount of variety. Thank-You for viewing and commenting...!!!

Hi! I never thought about the bunkers very much. I just assumed that they were ripped out. However, it would make sense that the shutters would be removed and the open concrete box filled with dirt. I'm going to guess that they were in close proximity to the present day Test Well markers. Those are along the Public Works access road, near the tracks and not too far from Lombard Avenue. Overall, I believe that the radar was up on the hill, the launchers near Lombard Ave and the tracks, and base housing was located at the present site of the big Addison Public Works building. You got me thinking on this again! I wonder what they did with the missile bunkers? Thank-You very much for viewing and commenting...!!!

I asked around and no one seems to know, Yeah, the recycle place in the Addison Industrial Area would be a safe bet.

Thank-You!

I should be thanking you for watching! Oh, Thank-You for viewing!!!

Hi! There are four lines that I know fairly well. The BNSF "Racetrack" at LaGrange Road is fantastic for freight, Metra, and Amtrak. Plus, you can walk a block east and there is the Indiana Harbor Belt. The CN's Freeport Sub is a underutilized set of tracks. I would suggest using Wolf Road for to travel about as the signal tower there might tell you if a train is near. The UPRR Chicago West Line at the Elmhurst Depot is always fun. I prefer going a few blocks west as I can sit in the car. Elmhurst can be uptight about parking so make sure you are not blocking Public Works or the UP dirt service road. Up at Franklin Park, you have three train stations to choose from. Furthest west, and practically in the yard, is the "Manheim" platform. Expressway construction will change this area in the near future. Check for old power just west of the viaducts. The main FP station sees a lot of trains but the Police don't want us on the platforms (if its busy). Still lots of misc places such as next to the Library. Franklin Park has a diamond for the CP & IHB. Just to the north is the Belmont Depot. This is another underutilized track but the view to the north goes on for miles. Watch for headlights. Those locations are the best for what I would describe as the "West Suburbs." There are many more and maybe someone else will chime in with suggestions.....?

Translation: USA, will you explain who should/should be sued now? Railway company with a carrier? Driver with a truck company? And this is at least the USA. My Reply: Hello! I doubt that there will be any sort of Civil Law suit. The violation would be a Criminal charge if that is what the railroad wanted to do. While it is obvious that the driver made a big mistake. I believe he did not get charges as he made an excellent case about the crossing not being properly marked with caution signs. A week after I filmed this the City put up warning signs.

Thanks for watching!

I just love watching these machines. I lucked out as I was taken to the Thresheree Park almost sixty years ago and I am still in love with these steam tractors. Thank-you very much for viewing and commenting...!!!

Hi! The "Addison Local" does not have a set schedule. It is a M-F job and operates when a CN client needs some boxcars bumped. The last couple of weeks, the Local has been returning east, at Wolf Road around nine in the morning. (I'm still in bed when it goes west and I think that is anytime after six AM). In general, there is a 10:30 AM freight, a 1 Pm and a 3:30 PM freight. These times are general and I would recommend using a scanner or watching the signal at Wolf Road. I have spent the day out there, many times, and it can be hours between the trains. Thank-you for viewing and commenting...!!!

Thank-you! I'll start watching for the UPY# 711. Thank-You for viewing and commenting!!!

Translation: The freight train pulled by the linked locomotives is really cool. I subscribed to your channel. My Reply: Thank-You for viewing! This train was unusual for the line as it had the three different locomotives. Thank-You for viewing and commenting...!!!

Me too!

Thank-You! This was fun!

Si! It was a very unique day. Thank-You for viewing and commenting...!!! Muchas Gracias!

I'll tell you that previous recording at Bensenville really helped me along. I was kind of late in getting over to Bensenville and I picked my filming spot based upon the curve in the embankment. I got set up and I realized that the cameraman next to me was the Pro from the Final Spike Tour. I guess I picked the right spot!

I agree! Thank-You for viewing and commenting...!!!

Rumor has it that UP 's Big Boy will be at Elomhurst in September!

@@ipfeldspar Oh that is awesome! I didn’t know that till I checked its fall schedule just now. I don’t know if I’ll be able to see that either but hopefully I do this decade.

Thank-You! And, Thank-You for viewing and commenting!!!

Thank-You!

Yes, a very nice, and a very lucky catch. I hung out an extra couple of hours to get the return trip. Thank-You for viewing and commenting...!!!

Thank-You for viewing and commenting....!!!!

Thank-You!

I'm not sure if that is a question or statement? In any case, I greatly appreciate you viewing and commenting....!!!!

I'll agree. I think the the train climbs seventy five feet in the seven miles from Cicero to Hillside. It is not a prefect ascent as there are some viaducts and bridges that create dips. When the power is at Hillside, the tail end is somewhere in Broadview. I suspect that he started his run with too low a rate of speed and it caught up to him at the County Line? And, as always, Thank-You Very Much For Viewing And Commenting....!!!!

On this one, the location really helps to make video pop. Thank-You for viewing and commenting!!!

A tour at Elmhurst or in Ky....?

Thank-You for that information! I was not aware it had been open. I'll guess, that like a lot of other cemeteries, this is a response to vandalism? Thank-You for viewing and commenting!!!

Thank-You!
