Burlington Northern's Racetrack
The E-units 1980s & 90s 

Camera of Roger A. Holmes

Beginning in 1983 our video cameras capture Burlington Northern's E units in suburban service between Chicago's Union Station and Aurora plus other locations in between. Also included is a mix of freights along the triple track as well as Amtrak from this time period.

Prevalent is Amtrak footage mixed in with the BN suburban trains shot from Roosevelt Road just south of Union Station. During the busiest of the afternoon rush hour BN suburban trains were scheduled to depart every 4 minutes!

Coverage ends on August 30, 1992 with the Farewell to the BN E Unit excursion. Chicago Union Station footage and footage shot from the cab was taken by the late Mark Singer of Aurora to whom this video is dedicated.
