Description I got tailgated by someone doing 60mph on this winding road when I was chasing this guy from East Chicago. The jeep didnt expect me to suddenly stop, damn I could of owned a Grand Cherokee. But this is always one of my favorite spots to catch EMD's doing run 8 on the hill that starts at Chesterton and ends in Laporte.

Durham, IN

This is pretty much your generic coal train in Illinois. If you really want to see some awesome coal action, come down to Central Illinois near the Springfield or Peoria area and get a glimpse of the Illinois & Midland. While you're at it, you get a chance to capture one of the rarest locomotives ever built, the EMD RS1325. Only two were made and both are still running on their home rails on the Illinois & Midland.

I speak so highly of this railroad because I live about 15 minutes away from it.

been there, and shot them. Generic coal trains on the BNSF, and NS usually have Ace's or Gevos for power. Two of these together isnt common anymore as it was five years ago. Trying to catch more than one on these is hard to find.
