Wednesday, 3-28-12, was an early morning call from my friend who works for IAIS. The 513 had come through Bureau Junction, Illinois on the nights of 25th and 26th, but those were bad photo ops as it was at night. So this call today was great! I met my friend at the Hennepin Crossing (who was engineering the 513 on a NS coal run). He brought me over to the 513 so I could get some cool stills up close. I then waited for them to pull out- We also pass the area near Tiskilwa were the October derailment occurred. Note the lack of foliage, gone from the fire and the new Ballast laid down. I tried something different: I photographed through the "Fish eye" lens to try a different effect- Its subtle but noticeable- I also included the stills in with the video: Please tell me what y'all think! Enjoy! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgdKry7eLr8

Hi guys, This is the 3rd and final attempt at an upload- for some reason the video quality was not good- please let me know what you think. Okay, so here are some shots I took while railfanning locally on the BNSF Mainline that runs between Chicago and Galesburg, IL. Here we see BNSF and Norfolk Southern mainline action and local switching with all varieties of motive power.
