the BNSF in Galesburg, IL are in general, very courtious. ive been pitched out of a couple places, but they also tell you the next closest public road that you can shoot from. and a MAJOR plus, about 15 years ago or so, the state built a brand new highway overpass over the BNSF yard. its one of probably VERY few, if any, bridges in the country WITH fullsize shoulders! it HAD to be by request of the BN at the time, to give foamers a place to go, to keep them out of the yard. you can park and sit on the bridge all day, and never have a problem! <br />there is a private road along side of the yard, but aslong as you stay in the car, and smile and wave at anyone else on the road, weve never been kicked out, we got booted once a few years back, because we were out of the car taking pictures of a BN fuel tender at the engine facility. but never agian since we learned to stay in the car.
