Lake Forest Railfanning: National Train Day

Recorded on 5/6/17

A-Train4014 Productions continues to celebrate National Train Day by going trackside at Lake Forest station on the CP C&M Sub. Today was a special day in many ways. A-Train4014 Productions is proud to announce that Casey Walker (Warbonnet 669 Productions) has joined forces and joins the A-Train4014 Productions team as a researcher and developer role. In addition, Miles Jajich and former A-Train4014 Productions member, Jacob Brugioni briefly joins for the fun. Even though it was a little windy which made the weather a bit chilly, our day was pretty occupied especially just after lunch hour as the freight trains pass us from left to right. To end the day at Lake Forest, we surprised one of our friends on Metra, Rob Dargan on his outbound run. Happy National Train Day to all and to the railfans that care so much about trains.
