With a light dusting of snow on the ground, and a bitterly cold windchill blowing in out of the west, an eastbound BNSF Railway / UPS trailer on flat car intermodal train speeds over the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad crosstracks at Mc Cook Junction. The BNSF mainline through here, was the former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe prior to the 1995 merger that created todays BNSF Railway. Amtrak trains were diverted off of this busy freight line to the former Burlington Northern line north of here at La Grange Illinois. The Amtrak trains to Los Angeles California over the former A,T,& S, F mainline, rejoin the original Santa Fe mainline at Cameron Illinois just a few miles west of Galesburg Illinois. The former A,T & S, F through here is 100 % freight only now.Thursday, January 24, 2008
