High Speed Santa Fe Pacing across the Ottumwa Subdivision
On June 1, 2024 we chased BNSF's Ottumwa Subdivision local eastbound between Burlington, IA and Cameron, IL just west of Galesburg. The power included a trio of former AT&SF locomotives including BNSF 636 & 169 still sporting their original warbonnet & yellowbonnet colors. Video locations included Gladstone, Kirkwood, & Monmouth, Illinois.

    The Chillicothe "station" used to be the club house. It was where crews would overnight before returning on a job to their home. It became the station when the wooden station behind where the photographer stood, burned in '59 or '60. My Dad & 3 other kids got a subcontract in the 1930s to hand dig the basement. The dirt was hauled away by mule and horse. In the '60s & early '70s on warm nights, many people from North Chillicothe (offical name until merging with Chillicothe) would filter down to the station at "train" times to see who was going and coming on the many passenger trains. This built a sense of community. I was always surprised how many people we would meet from our life in Peoria. My family did not believe in AC back then. (The houses were designed to be cool in summer, shaded by trees and warm in winter. So the heat was not bad.) But the windows must be kept open day and night, except in driving rain. I definitely miss falling asleep to the switcher horns moving cars around in the yards and hearing hot shot freight quickly dropping off and taking on crews.

    My 5 th favorite train the Santa Fe beautiful red and silver train which is awesome. Long time ago when I was 14 or 15 years old i had Santa Fe train set but instead of red and sliver it was Blue and yellow quite interesting. But unfortunately the rails cars and the train engine derailed off the bridge and broke. Sadly the engine was ruined and couldn't work any more and my cars broke too. Couldn't keep it so I fortunately my mom told me also the grandmother told me to throw out in the garage. So I carefully looked at it see how bad it is broken and couldn't get it fixed so I unfortunately i had to throw it out rotten shame it was a nice beautiful blue and yellow engine and nice train set too

      CSX ran a couple freights to and from St Louis + occasional autoracks and extras. CP and later INRD seemed to run a daily "turn" to Louisville. In the end, just INRD ran a train or two daily, which wasn't profitable enough to keep the line open.
