Who doesn't love a good Pacing video?!
Illinois highway 37 in southern Illinois parallels the UP Mt. Vernon Sub almost 10 miles between Ina, and Mt. Vernon. It's a perfect location for pacing the many trains that grace this line.
Yesterday (March 27, 2024) my friend Louis and I were railfanning the area when we heard this northbound ZEGYC (Hotshot intermodal from Eagle Pass, TX to Yard Center, IL) was approaching.
Up front were 3 GE motors, one of which had a fresh coat of new paint in the new livery. The train's speed was about 57 mph during the chase. Maximum authorized speed for this section is 60 mph.
Enjoy the sounds of these GE's rolling fast, down the main track, blowing for the crossings along the way.
