Recorded 8/7/15
This is my first railfanning trip on the Metra BNSF Railway route. My buddy, Branden Phillips and I decided to check out the BNSF Racetrack for a change. So we chose to go to Hinsdale train station because it was recommended by a close friend. We had a blast! Yes, trains actually race each other. I actually got to witness two trains race each other during the morning rush hour when I was there. I had a really fun time and I can't wait to go back again someday. I had some problems exporting my movie since it was so long and I caught that many trains at Hinsdale. We didn’t want the day to end since it was so much fun. I don’t think we never caught this many trains in one day. Check out all the trains we caught!
