Lake Forest Railfanning

Lake Forest Railfanning

Recorded on 1/21/18

After heading out to Elmhurst yesterday, Andrew Mangalindan and Casey Walker
continued to work hard catching trains at Lake Forest on a decent Sunday
afternoon with special guest: Andrew Sonkin (NorthbrookRailfanner).
While we were there, we caught a good amount of action on the CP C&M
Sub as a good variety occured in the morning and continued till the
Amtrak Empire Builder trains showed up. Overall, it was another
solid day in Lake Forest as we caught (hopefully) the first of many Heritage
Units this year.

We returned to a place that has become an instant favorite to our crew:
Elmhurst. Andrew Mangalindan and Casey Walker represent A-Train4014
Productions in the city of Elmhurst with special guests: Aaron Gonzales
(BNSF Fan 7695) and David Dupius (The Boeing Railroader). Based on
our previous visit to Elmhurst, it did not disappoint on a weekend. We were
also able to utilize the GoPro camera really well. Overall, we had a fun time
as we were able to squeeze in some time in the evening.

Wadsworth Railfanning

Wadsworth Railfanning

Recorded on 1/13/18

Andrew Mangalindan and Casey Walker take on the bitter cold as they head out trackside to catch PRLX 200 trailing on CP 287 and Amtrak Empire Builder 8 with a BNSF ES44C4 leading the way in Wadsworth, IL. The bitter cold may not have been treating us really well but it is always a joy to see the trains that we were scheduled to catch. We were also able to continue using the GoPro camera for unique shots. We’re still in the testing phase for the GoPro camera at the next few weeks. Overall, we want to thank Andrew Mangalindan and Casey Walker for surviving the cold to catch some trains.

Recorded on 1/10/18

For the first time ever, A-Train4014 Productions will feature GoPro video footages from a railfanning trip. Our very own, Andrew Mangalindan goes out to the CP C&M Sub to test out the brand new GoPro Hero 5 Session camera. Throughout the video, look out for the GoPro video footages. We are planning to use the GoPro more often especially when trains meet and during special events later in the year. It may have been cold outside, but we could probably agree that it was fun testing out the GoPro.
