Скачать или смотреть Union Pacific Salem Subdivision Train Action in Altamont, IL - July 25, 2023

Altamont is a beautiful community in South-Central Illinois that at one time hosted three railroads. In 2023, two railroads still pass through the heart of town making Altamont a great location to watch trains. On a rather hot afternoon in July, the Union Pacific hosted two of their trains on their Salem Subdivision through town. The Salem Sub is one of two subdivisions of the former Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad that connects the Pana Subdivision at Findlay in the north and the Chester Subdivision at Gorham in the south.

First, we see a southbound freight train bound for North Little Rock from UP's yard at Proviso, Illinois. Moments later, a Chicago-bound intermodal train blasts out of town featuring UP 1111, the Powered by our People commemorative locomotive.

Thanks for watching & enjoy!
