West Chicago Railfanning

West Chicago Railfanning
Recorded on 4/5/19 from 7am-2:50pm

The last two trips to West Chicago were simply unbelievable featuring train races. This trip was just as good as the previous two times. While we were there, the Canadian National Leighton Subdivision was immediately busy just as we arrived out trackside during the morning rush hour. Throughout the day, the CN was making noise as CN freight trains showed up almost at every hour until the action started to get a bit quiet towards the end of our day out trackside. Overall, it was a very successful day out at West Chicago and we will certainly return later in the summer. Tune in next week as we attempt to do double duty with Lake Villa on Friday, April 12 followed by Downers Grove on Saturday, April 13. Enjoy this video presentation from West Chicago!
