Lake Forest Railfanning

Lake Forest Railfanning

Recorded 6/22/16

I promised myself I’d make a trip to Lake Forest train station before my vacation to Freeport, Bahamas. Despite the extreme heat, it still didn’t stop me. However, I had to be very cautious with the heat though. Not sure if this will be my last trip to Lake Forest train station but since I'm going on vacation very soon, my summer break is running down to the wire. The disadvantage about railfanning today was the extreme heat. But that still didn't stop me from going. To prepare, I bought a cooler filled with lots of frozen water. I also brought extra clothes as well as some towels. Anyway, I hope this isn't my last time railfanning. I caught some good variety especially in the early part of the day. By the way, all of the video clips have been cut and won’t be longer than usual due to technical difficulties of zooming in and out feature on the iPhone camera and to try something different.
