K5HLB!! Chasing BNSF 8025 with Insane Echoes on the Aurora Sub

I saw that 8025 was leading a Q-PTLCHC on the East Dubuque cam this morning, so I ventured out to Lee to get him. It took a little while to get there, and while I was waiting, a thunderstorm came through. While it wasn't too bad, I think there may have be some slight debris on the tracks, and he ended up crawling through Lee.

Not too pleased with the shot, I jumped ahead to Shabbona, where I figured he'd be picking up speed again, and if possible I would chase to Waterman. I purposely set up in a spot where the horn would be honking behind a building, and HOLY Jesus, did this provide some nutty echoes! I then gave chase through town and got some more good echoes, and then I got a full speed runby in Waterman. Very glad I made the choice to go to Shabbona, because those echoes gave me legit goosebumps. I put the Lee shot at the end of the video, because I wanted to lead with the Shabbona shot since it came out way better.

Pro tip if you want to get good echoes and don't care too much how the shot looks, set up behind buildings. The sound comes out way better than if you're in the open, and lately I've preferring these type of shots when going for good horns.
