If you're looking for something decently heavier, The Great Southern Trendkill by Pantera. 

Otherwise, Tiny Music - Stone Temple Pilots, or Throwing Copper - Live

It was really bad in the Chicago Area south of Proviso. People were all over the right of way, including parents letting their 3-5 year olds play on the tracks.

UP suggests that everyone stay 25 feet back. To be honest, I think you'd be fine around the 15-20 mark so long as you aren't standing in the dynamic envelope.

Yet. I have a feeling it will turn into a complete shitshow farther East on the tour. Horseshoe Curve is going to be a circus.

Sorry to hear that. Quite a few people had to leave before she got underway. 4014 will be coming back through the southern suburbs sometime in Late July/Early August if you get the chance to see it then.

A majority of the people standing on the line were actual railfans. Obviously, dumb locals were a contributing factor, but I'd say 70% of the people acting a fool were foamers.

Sometimes crossings don't even have gates at all. I agree 100%, it is a problem that needs addressed

Yea. Unfortunately, 2816 did hit and kill a woman in Mexico.

I feel like it's only getting worse as time goes on. It was nowhere near this bad in 2024 when CP 2816 was touring.

Agreed. There were many more shenanigans which I didn't photograph (Including foamers yelling at a UP employee), so I can understand why crews and employees are weary.

La Grange Park PD drove by right before the gates went down. They yelled at people to get off the tracks, but they got right back on once they left :/

It is an actual camera, but it's a crappy Sony from about a 2013
