Railfanning Chicago 7/22-25/24
My good friend Jim Kleeman and I visited Chicago last Monday-Thursday. We videoed and took what seemed like a zillion photos. I alone shot 114 videos! I decided to include all of the videos I took so the post is well over an hour. As you will see in the post we saw freight and passenger trains. At Elmhurst it was almost like streetcars with one train after another. We did have a strange encounter when a person collapsed onto the sidewalk in LaGrange. Jim attended to him while the EMT's were on the way. They arrived within minutes and knew who the person was. I guess he was a frequently flyer. Hope you enjoy.

I also changed the industry adjacent to the helix to a beer distributor and now have one track enter the building. As I mention I an not sure what type on industry to have the adjacent industry track serve. The is not much room there for a building. Take care everyone!

Model Railroading How to: Painting Rail and Ballasting Lincoln Yard

You are probably tired of seeing me and Brian so I thought I would post this video. About a month ago I started painting the rail, weathering ties and ballasting Lincoln Yard.

    @JamesGregg-n6t I grew up in Skaneatles, NY and my father was very much into model trains. We had a collection of French rail cars, and many of his scenes were European villages in the Alps using paper mache for landscapes and home-made cardboard buildings. I wish I had known Brian was so interested in this passion; my father would have loved to see what Brian has created! I would love to hear from Brian if he feels so inclined.

    Depending on how busy your distributor is, that siding could be for inbound offspot cars if too many get sent in before cars get pulled. Or use it as a transload/team track. Could put a small ramp w/ loading dock, grain or coal pit with conveyor.

      Howard has not really ever run his railroad. Mostly other trusted friends do that. Howard is 85 years old and has some health issues and does not go downstairs to the layout very often. Al Puglesie, Andre and Alex have been routinely visiting the layout and providing maintenance. That are also updating the rolling stock to NMRA standards and adjusting coupler heights to make the layout perform better.
