Railfanning in Joliet (December 21st, 2023)

On December 21st 2023, the three of us and one of our friends ‪@UPRailfan‬ took a Metra trip down to Joliet station through the Rock Island. Despite how cold it was, that didn't stop us from railfanning multiple different trains including BNSF, Amtrak, Union Pacific and Metra.
After about 5 hours of Railfanning we would head back to Chicago Union station and take a look at the gigantic Christmas tree they had set up.
