Lake Forest Railfanning

Lake Forest Railfanning

Recorded on 12/15/17

A-Train4014 Productions returns to Lake Forest train station one last time in 2017. The action started off slow during the morning rush hour as Metra trains dominated the morning like usual. Until Jeff Meehan’s Metra train 2111 came through, the action started to pick up. To summarize, this was a very brutal adventure because of the tough wind chills which made the outdoor weather very cold so it made our job a bit difficult to keep an eye on the train tracks. Overall, it was still a fun time at Lake Forest.
