West Chicago Railfanning

West Chicago Railfanning

Recorded on 7/17/18

West Chicago, Illinois was one of many places that we’ve planned to visit this
year. So we decided to make a return trip to West Chicago at the ex EJ&E
line where the CN Leithton Subdivision intersects with the UP Geneva
Subdivision. While we were there, the action was quite busy. There were
trains coming from both the UP Geneva Subdivision and the CN Leithton
Subdivision so it made our crew members hard at work setting up our
cameras to prepare for incoming trains. Even though our crew was stuck
in traffic on the way out. Overall, it was a solid and busy day.
