Spotted this Manifest from the highway and decided to go downtown STL to get a closer look. It had five engines,a couple of TRRA and three BNSF.

We were trying to catch another train on the MacArthur Bridge when my son spotted the Polar Express holiday train. So I pulled over real quick for him to get a video. I didn’t know what he was saying until I watched the video back. His commentary is silly lol.

Thank you for your service!

Also in Springfield, IL there’s 2 crossings next to each other, both on N Grand Ave. This crossing is right next to a diamond where the IMRR and NS cross each other. This signal is on a road that’s between those 2 crossings that has a Union Switch & Signal (US&S) 8x20 inch light with a yellow lense and 2 US&S 20 inch lights. (One says no left turn and the other says no right turn) This is a very old setup that companies don’t do anymore but I have never seen both no turn lights on one signal, so this was cool to see.
