As my Spring Break 2016 comes to a close, I took a trip with Jacob Brugioni to Lake Forest train station. It was so much fun that I wished it would never end. Along with that, there were many trains caught on camera including a cool looking Norfolk Southern locomotive. Here are the trains caught in Lake Forest.

I had a wonderful time coming to Lake Forest train station. I saw many trains that I’m really excited to share! The weather was great and it was very action packed. Even though I don’t railfan on the weekends, it was still nice to see what can happen at a train station even on weekends. Shoutout to Jacob Brugioni and Sethamtrak for stopping by!

Sorry, I completely forgot about posting this. I had no school on Monday, March 6. So how do I spend my day off from school? The answer is simple: Railfanning! I made a trip to Lake Villa train station with my buddy, Branden Phillips. Check out all the trains we caught from 9AM to 2PM.
