CN 8802 West, Over the Rock River on 2-4-2012

A Canadian National SD70M-2 leads a M337 train over the Rock River, scares a few geese and continues west on the Freeport subdivision. I seldom video in urban areas. About as urban as I get is Fairdale, Illinois population 152. But I was with a couple other guys working on a little railfan project. We knew this train was coming, so I set up the cameras, turned them on and got out of the way. An up-sun shot for the approach clips. So I’ve included more of the going away clips with the old smokestack.
