For the first time in A-Train4014 Productions history, we are catching the Metra Operation North Pole Christmas Train. Andrew Mangalindan, Casey Walker, and Miles Jajich represent A-Train4014 Productions as we get video footages of the Metra Operation North Pole in Des Plaines, IL with special guests: David Dupuis (TheBoeingRailroader) and Aaron Gonzales (BNSF fan 7695). While we were there, we started our day in Des Plaines station to film a couple Metra trains. After they passed through, we switched location to an open area where we met Drayton Blackgrove (Delay In Block Productions) where our crew was featured in Delay In Block Productions’ Facebook Live Stream which will be provided in a link below. Then the Metra Operation North Pole train does two photo runbys. Finally, it pulls into Des Plaines station to pick up the children while the engineer plays Jingle Bells on the horn. The train departs at 11:20am Central Time and heads to Pingree Road station in Crystal Lake, IL. Eventually the train headed back to Des Plaines to drop off the children so we caught it again in Mount Prospect station with Larry Amaloo (larry84988). Overall, it was an unforgettable experience for all of us and we can’t wait to do it again in the future. Special thanks to Metra, Union Pacific, police officers and firefighters of local towns involved, and Operation North Pole for putting on a fantastic show. We enjoyed every minute of this wonderful experience.
