Grayslake Railfanning
Recorded on 7/27/17
A-Train4014 Productions returns to Grayslake after hearing from our friend, Jeff Meehan that he has a surprise for us. Sure enough, his power was Metra MP36PH 417, the engine that saved us from our chase of Nickel Plate Road 765 last year on The Varsity Steam Excursion. It was kind of ironic how it happened in almost the exact location where the 765 had to wait in order to continue to the CP C&M Sub. Anyway, as always, we enjoyed seeing our friend, Jeff and having a nice conversation during his one hour layover at Grayslake station before heading back to Chicago. After seeing Jeff at Grayslake, we were on our way to lunch in Vernon Hills. However, we saw that Jeff was stopped by a Canadian National freight train. So we got ahead of his train and caught him in Libertyville on Winchester Road, not too far away from downtown Libertyville. Afterwards, we headed off to lunch and that was it.
