Take a visit to Joliet, Illinois on the BNSF Southern Transcon, and watch two BNSF intermodal trains pass - from between the two! 

Setup legally on the center platform before its late-2014 closure, we captured a meet of BNSF trains shortly following a Metra train, which made both of these trains hold out, setting up the meet once the tower lined 'em up!
