West Chicago Railfanning

Nice catch at the end! Nice to see EMD leading a GEVO for a change!

Thank you for an action-packed video of railfanning at West Chicago, Illinois on 30 January 2024, Andrew! All the trains were interesting to watch. I agree with your pick of the Highlight of the Day. The two manifest trains running parallel to each other were a great visual. The train closest to us had many flat cars with John Deere tractors. I wonder if the John Deere tractors were for domestic dealers out east or if they were for export.

Nice video. I was thinking of going to that spot tomorrow. Anything to do around there while I'm waiting to catch some trains?

Thanks for watching! There's some railroad stuff to look at downtown area by the station if you're interested. -Andrew Mangalindan

@@ATrain4014 how about weekends, or is it better to go during the week?

[@ATrain4014]

@@Eddy1969 West Chicago will be busy no matter what day you go. But likely weekday would be much busier than weekend(s).

Is West Chicago good for evening rush?

[@ATrain4014]

Based on my previous experiences during evening rush at West Chicago, I say it's good for evening rush because there's still good chance(s) you'll still see some freight action. -Andrew Mangalindan
