Lake Forest Railfanning: Christmas Edition


Lake Forest Railfanning: Christmas Edition
Recorded 12/23/16


I made another return trip to Lake Forest station to celebrate the holiday season as well as a successful railfanning year. It was cold for our crew so we didn’t stay as long as we’re expected to. Plus, the crew had some last minute Christmas shopping to do. Highlight of the Day was a tough decision but after being a little patient throughout the day, one train stood out among the rest. So enjoy the show and have a Happy Holidays from all of us at A-Train4014 Productions!
