Lake Forest Railfanning: Labor Day Edition

Lake Forest Railfanning: Labor Day Weekend

Recorded on 9/4/17

After spending a day at the Illinois Railway Museum last night, A-Train4014 Productions returns trackside at Lake Forest, IL on the CP C&M Sub. MbtaFan1071 Productions and one of our closest colleagues, Andrew Sonkin (NorthbrookRailfannerProductions) joins our very own, Andrew Mangalindan and Miles Jajich for a Labor Day Edition of railfanning. The action was average. The reason was Metra was operating a Sunday/Holiday Schedule for Labor Day. Not many trains showed up as the usual trains that would be seen on a regular weekday. Overall, it was a fun day as we survived the windy, cloudy, sunny, and rainy day at Lake Forest.
