Deerfield Railfanning

Deerfield Railfanning

Recorded on 12/2/17

Andrew Mangalindan, Casey Walker, and Miles Jajich head over to Deerfield station on the Metra Milwaukee District North Line to catch the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train with special guests: David Dupuis (TheBoeingRailroader), Aaron Gonzales (BNSF fan 7695), and Adam Hartley (metraking192). While we were there, the rail traffic was really good. There was a train coming within the hour or so. But when the CP Holiday Train arrived, it came earlier than expected and some of us didn’t get enough time to set up our cameras to photograph or video tape. As a result, we drove up to Wadsworth with enough time to set up and get a second chance. Overall, it was a solid day. Stay tuned for video footages of the Metra Operation North Pole as well.
