April 21, 1995.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a clear Spring day; Mike and Tom Danneman and I had departed Waukesha, Wisconsin before sunrise aiming for Rochelle, Illinois where Chicago & North Western crossed Burlington Northern\u2019s C&I Line.<\/p>\n

At 7:46 am we photographed our first train, a C&NW eastbound crossing the diamonds at Rochelle. \u00a0By 10 am we’d caught six trains between the two lines and had worked our way east on BN.<\/p>\n

At 10:47, we picked up a Canadian National freight working westbound on\u00a0BN. At the time CN was routing 4-5 trains each way daily over BN between the Twin Cities and Chicago.<\/p>\n

We followed this CN freight led by a pair of General Electric cowl type diesels (model DASH8-40CM numbers 2416 and 2440). At 11:57 am it met an eastward CN freight near Stratford, Illinois.<\/p>\n

I was working with two cameras. In my Nikormat FTN I had Fuji Provia 100, and in my Nikon F3T Kodachrome 25.<\/p>\n

We continued our chase went toward Savanna, catching this train again at 1:36pm near Burke, Illinois. By the end of the day we\u2019d photographed 21 freights. Not bad for a day out.<\/p>\n
