THE HUB OF THE WHEEL TRIP 2023: Day 2 -- Trains between Hammond, IN and Gilman, IL

Filmed: 6/22/2023
June 22nd was the second day of the annual "Hub of the Wheel Trip" (the trip that all other trips revolve around, hence the name) that my dad and I take every June. We head out to Galesburg Railroad Days for the big model train show and back, and do plenty of railfanning along the way.
The second day found us in the Chicagoland area for most of the morning and mid afternoon. We paid a visit to CP HOHMAN where the IHB crosses the NS Chicago District and saw a wide variety of trains there, including some IHB moves and our first ever bottle train. Afterwords we moved onto Homewood and grabbed some CN and Metra action, then southward on the CN as far as Gilman where we shot CN, TPW, and Amtrak moves to close out the day. A very rewarding day after our short day yesterday!
Enjoy!
