Lake Forest Railfanning

Lake Forest Railfanning

Recorded on 4/20/18

Since the weather was decent on Friday, April 20, A-Train4014
Productions heads out to our home turf in Lake Forest, IL for a
railfanning day. While we were there, the action was slow
throughout the morning. Around noon, freight trains came
rushing into Lake Forest. In fact, four freight trains came
under a blanket with two going north, two going south.
Highlight of the Day was unique because it involved
police activity on Amtrak Empire Builder 8. We’re unsure
what the situation was at the time and we decided not to
film the situation due to law enforcement being present.
But overall, solid day trackside at Lake Forest.
