Railfanning Massive BNSF Freight Trains in Fort Madison, Iowa! (Part 4) 7/29/23

I took my second Railfanning trip to Fort Madison, Iowa this last July. This was a long awaited trip and I was so excited to hear that my grandparents would be taking me here. I stayed at the Kingsley Inn, just across the street from the tracks. This might have been the best experience railfanning I've ever had. The Chillicothe Sub averages 50-70 Trains a day, this paired up with the BNSF Hannibal Subdivision adds a constant flow of trains 24-7. I saw countless meets, foreign power, and heritage units. I have around 6 1/2 hours of footage from about the 2 days I stayed there, so this will have to be broken up into around 6 videos. (This is Part: 4) And with that said, I hope you guys enjoy the video! (I also saw @BNSFRailProductions @neenahrails6366 @RailfanVince so make sure to check them out!)
