Picture post test for Galesburg Railroad Days 2004

  • Here are some photos taken last weekend during the Galesburg Railroad Days June 27, 2004. They may or may not display. My geocities website appears to block my images sometimes!!



    A view of the BNSF "hump" yard bowl from the "longest bridge over dry land". This is a rare shot now after 911. If you are caught on this bridge, BNSF security will remove you from the bridge!!

  • Did they have anything this year?Last I heard the RR didnt want anything to do with RR days.BTW no photo shown.

    Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train

  • You are correct. They did manage to arrange bus tours of the BNSF yard. Buses were $2 for adults and made a tour about every hour. It was very impressive to watch them "hump" the cars. For me it was a rare opportunity not be a railroad employee!!
