The Route of the Zephyrs in 2002 DVD

The main line of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad between Aurora and Galesburg in central Illinois is one of the more storied rail lines leading west from Chicago, long known for its fleet of Zephyr passenger trains.  Since the BN merger, the tonnage on this line has grown by fifty per cent, but the traffic mix has changed dramatically.  And Amtrak still uses the Zephyr name on two pair of trains that run on this line.  This video will show the traffic and operations for two days and one night at many locations on what BNSF now calls their Mendota Subdivision in September of 2002.  77 minutes.
