Lake Forest Railfanning

Lake Forest Railfanning

Recorded on 7/21/17

After making trips to Grayslake and Rondout yesterday, A-Train4014 Productions goes to Lake Forest for more railfanning. As usual, the Metra and the Amtrak trains dominated the early portion of the day. After we saw Jeff Meehan on Metra train 2111, the freight action picked up. It started off with three freights under a blanket and then two additional freights meet at a perfect moment. In addition, there was a surprise locomotive that was leading one of the CP freight trains that we caught that day with our very own, Casey Walker.
