BNSF local chase (Peoria -Galesburg)

Due to a tip off from a friend I managed to catch the BNSF local which

would head west on the Peoria sub enroute to the yard in Galesburg, 

Illinois. I had quite a day though it was cold and  for a bit rainy in spots.

It wasn't just normal rain either freezing rain plus some snow flurries but

neither produced but it dictated if i filmed outside or from my car.  I only

ended up filming on video in my car at Elmwood as prior to it arriving it 

was raining plus it seemed the temp dropped so I was freezing. The joys of

a car without heat you rely on a jacket and body fat to keep you warm and

I certainly have enough body fat. Ha.  I did manage to knock off a few locations

off my bucket list such as Elmwood, Edwards and off Kickapoo Creek road.

I've filmed in Yates City before so catching it there wasn't concerned about but

I did go to Douglas to take pictures as I never railfanned there or paid that little

town any mind. Here are some photographs and  what i filmed from today's chase.

In Pekin I found TZPR in a yard there but they didn't look like they were going to 

move soon so seen my friends heads up on text and decided to go find that train. I 

seen the  locomotive consist sitting in the TZPR yard when i arrived at Wesley road 

and wondered if it'd be heading back to Galesburg today. Yup. :)
