Ten Train Video Compilation at the Diamonds in West Chicago, Illinois on 4-28-2013

A video compilation of 10 trains captured within a 2 hour and 15 minute time span at the rail intersection in "Turner Junction." 29 different engines parade in front of the camera which was in a fixed position about 20 feet from the diamonds with JB Tower in the background.

I generally don't like to video in West Chicago due to the tight confines and obstructed views. This despite the goodly amount of rail traffic from the Union Pacific Geneva subdivision and the increasingly busy Canadian National Leithton subdivision. However, I figured the GoPro, with it's wider field of view, might be a good weapon to get decent shots. I could have re-positioned the camera to different locations, but decided to leave it at the diamonds. I had the camera's WiFi running so that I could control it while in my car which was parked across busy Washington Street. The video's beginning shows the grey overcast day that eventually cleared to nearly sunny skies.

Let me know if there is any power of interest outside of the two "switchers" and the GP38-2.
