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.

Yes, we did have a bit of divine intervention.

At Elmhurst you were at the "Racetrack" triple track. OPJ

[@fredeisen7401]

Yes.

Actually The Racetrack was Western Springs on the BNSF. Elmhurst is on the UP.
