After finishing final exams, school was over and my winter break begins! What better way to make a trip to Lake Villa train station to kickoff my two week winter break. Even though it was very cold, I was able to keep warm and see some trains.

CP Holiday Train: Bonus Coverage

CP Holiday Train: Bonus Coverage

I finished editing and creating my bonus coverage of the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train in Gurnee, Illinois. I included my own voiceover as well as interviews which is part of the requirements to make a great news package. This was my final exam project for broadcast class in school and I thought I'd share my final product on A-Train4014 Productions. All the work of editing, creating, interviewing, and video footages are done by me. By the way, I received an A on my project  which made it persuaded me to put it on A-Train4014 Productions. Enjoy! P.S. Eagle Eye News is the name of the broadcast team at Lakes Community High School in which I'm apart of for signing up for Broadcast Journalism class.

I made another surprise trip to Lake Forest Train Station. One of my friends, Caleb Lapinskas from my broadcast class is interested in using A-Train4014 Productions as a news package for a final exam project. Stay tuned for more updates and Caleb's project will be posted here soon. While railfanning, I caught a really special diesel locomotive that I never thought I would catch before. Pay attention to the second locomotive in this freight train.
