Racing to the Checkered Flag

In a fashion reminiscent of Turn 4 at Daytona, BNSF manifest H BRCNTW1 06A on the near Main 1 has a couple carlengths on fellow westbound H GALNTW9 06A powering out of Savanna, IL, skirting the Mississippi River and its corresponding bluffs as they will for the remainder of their trips to the Twin Cities. The adversaries came together on the other end of Savanna at the junction of Plum River, GALNTW coming off the Barstow Subdivision from Galesburg just behind the BRCNTW from Chicagoland. The BRC train will ultimately go to victory lane, as its competitor will concede at the the upcoming crossovers CP 1569 to wait to fall into line due to oncoming traffic.
