Train #2 |
| Description: |
Running 2nd in the 3 loco lashup is #1075. Notice the close clearance by the Joliet Union Station platform. The new plans for a modern Joliet Gateway Center will do away with Union Station platform serving as a loading platform - a safer setup for pedestrians. |

BNSF #6710 rolls past the Joliet Union Station platform on the former ATSF track on its way south with its container car train. This is the last freight train to pass in an hour and a half.
