Three BNSF Freights At Fairview Plus Amtrak & Metra !!!

It was an intreresting morning along the BNSF "Racetrack" in Downers Grove Illinois. These rails are the BNSFD Chicago West Service and that morning began with a complete shutdown of all service! Seems that a bridge got hit down by Cicero and no rail traffic was moving until that bridge was inspected. Altogether I caught seven trains. It starts withtwo different BNSF freights moving east. Then, we get to see a Inbound Metra Express with dual power that blasts past the little Depot! The westbound Amtrak, The Illinois Zephyr caught me by surprise as it was also throttled up. This Zephyr was about two hours late due to the track shutdown. Then, a Meta Inbound that makes a stop at Fairview. The eastbound Illinois Zephyr was on time and it flew past me. The last train was a eastbound BNSF mixed freightr. I was there for almost three hours but all of these trains came past in about ninety minutes.

Irving, after several years of watching your fine videos, I am finally driving from Ohio to railfan your neck of the woods. I will have 4 or 5 days to spend there, so if there is somewhere you would recommend I see, then please tell me. (Franklin Park, Hinsdale, etc.) Thank you!!
