When I was down there a week ago I spent several hours at a grade crossing at East Galesburg. There was a little gravel off to the side of the road. The police drove by several times and didn't seem to care, even at 9pm. The spot had cool sweeping turn and cross-over signals to the east. Cool spot, at least for me anyway! Also, if you want to drive a little bit (15 minutes) go a little further east to Dahinda. The sweeping S-turn though here is spectacular and so is the Spoon River bridge. Trains roar through here at 70 per as they enter the river valley. If you hadn't noticed, I like the old Sante Fe mainline, but if you want to catch some old Burlington line trains and some SF trains I suggest Cameron (5-10 minutes to the west) instead of downtown Galesburg because it can get pretty hectic. The land is wide open and you can see for miles. The junction here is a wonder in itself. Trains go in every direction and i'm still trying to figure out why i saw 4 trains moving from the old BN yard and then taking the SF east into Chicago. Hope this helps.
