Some Friday morning railfanning as a warm up to a hot day
Prior to a neighborhood festival in Downers Grove, IL, I shot some rail footage as a warm up for the day’s activities. Here are some highlights:
An eastbound BNSF coal train running near the end of the morning Metra rush hour
A meet between a westbound Metra and an eastbound BNSF Z train
A three way meet which one of the trains was not seen. The unseen train was a single lead baretable train

On the final Sunday of April, I spent a day doing a little railfanning of my own. One of two compilations is capturing the long distance Amtrak trains heading in and out of Chicago.

    There was a fatal car vs train accident at this grade crossing back in 1994 that spearheaded an effort to have four quadrant gates installed. This is the only grade crossing on the BNSF Chicago Subdivision to have four quadrant gates.
