Lake Forest Railfanning

Lake Forest Railfanning

Recorded on 6/9/17

The A-Train4014 Productions team heads to Lake Forest station as a private event as we met up to do some discussions on video projects and upcoming events in the next couple of months during the summer. The weather played out nicely as it was mostly sunny for most of the day. Even though it was a little bit hot, at least we didn’t have to wear more than one layer of clothing. Metra and Amtrak trains dominated throughout the day especially from the time we arrived at 6am till around 11am is when the freight trains showed up. While we were there, our discussions were upcoming video projects and events that includes a trip to Franklin Park, the following day and doing a special documentary coming up very soon. Finally, we finished off our list of discussions with the Joliet Rocket. Owner/Founder, Andrew Mangalindan and Vice President, Branden Phillips will be riding while Research & Developer, Casey Walker will be chasing. We’re very excited to be doing Franklin Park Railroad Days and The Joliet Rocket later this month. Stay tuned!
