Hi Mark, <br /> <br />Sorry it's been a few days-I tend to get busy here and there working on PCs. Yes, I get to Galesburg about once or twice a year. Railroad days is June 23rd this year. I am originally from the Galesburg area, having lived in Galva, IL nearly all my life, and a few years in Kewanee, IL. Like you I had never really bothered with the yard. The street overpass I believe you are referring to is known as Thirwell Road. It is a huge 4-lane bridge overpass that crosses the entire yard. It is the IDEAL spot for trainspotting and taking pics. <br /> <br />I heard back from BNSF, and due to 9-11 they are not at liberty to give out any information for any of their rail facilities and yards, including diagrams of such. Due to the circumstances, I understand their position completely. I have found several sites on the net that have good pics of the yard, and I will be adding my own pics when I get up to Galesburg this Summer. <br /> <br />Thanks for adding to my post.
