Lake Forest Railfanning: St. Patrick's Day Edition

Lake Forest Railfanning: St. Patrick’s Day Edition

Recorded on 3/17/18

Andrew Mangalindan, Casey Walker, and David Dupuis
represent A-Train4014 Productions as we return to Lake
Forest for some railfanning featuring our special guests:
Andrew Sonkin and Aaron Gonzales (BNSF Fan 7695).
We’ve been talking with Aaron for quite some time to be
filming in our turf and we finally made it happen. Now our
next step is to bring him back to our turf to film at Lake
Forest on a Friday sometime in the near future. Since
today was St. Patrick’s Day, Chicago hosted its annual
St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the city. Since 2016, it’s now
become a future tradition to film trains at Lake Forest
during St. Patrick’s Day. Today’s adventure may future
what might be the “Most Variety” in A-Train4014 Productions
History. At the end of the day, we concluded the day by sunset
which turned out pretty cool just as the commuters from the
St. Patrick’s Day parade came back from the city after a long day.
Overall, it was another solid day at Lake Forest.
