I love that you had a shot of the Chatham depot at 9:51. I am a board member there, and would love to give you a tour next time you're in town. You caught us at the worst time, we were repainting the building into a more realistic Chicago & Alton color. It's since been finished now.
Coasterfan2105 I love your videos, and I have always been into Trains since I was a really little kid, its to the point now where Im now a part of the Railfan Community. Keep up the great work mike armstrong.
Was at Chicago,IL and through Minnesota and Wisconsin, part of the Midwest back in mid-June. All those catches are wonderful. I'd come back to the Midwest soon!
Great video!!! A lot of great catches and spots. 3:28..Wow. I caught something like that at Commerce BNSF a few days ago. It was CRSX 1235, in way better condition but seemed to be heading to the Anaheim Scrap yard.
There was one P42 running on the Chicago to St Louis trains while I was out there and I tried so hard to catch them on the 110 MPH segments. I finally just waited one night for the southbound to come through around 10:30 at night. It ended up being the only scene I got with a P42 going over 100 MPH!
Hey Mike, when you did the electric commuter train single level, I actually saw one of those and I and in I forgot the state name but like the power plant in the background is actually I’ve actually passed through there. I’m from Wisconsin. Love you Mike. Also, your videos are always great. I’ve been watching your videos since I was four and now I’m nine.
It's great to see some Midwest trains, Mike! Being from Iowa, I love the opening scene of the Boone & Scenic Valley RR. That's a fun excursion, especially if you're there on the weekends when they're running the steam locomotive.
About a week ago I saw that same exact set up with the Milwaukee Road Heritage MP36PH-3C unit and F59PH unit number 99 double header when I was railfanning in Grayslake!
Awesome catches Mike that’s for posting this Midwest trains completion as I’m sure many we’re very interested to see the different railroads that ran in the Midwest and got to see some unique locomotives cheers and have a good day,
W video as always! Also, when were you at GLN (Glenview)? That’s my local metra! 8:01 I saw that train at NBK! And your GLN Curve shots are amazing! When I was starting out, that’s exactly where I would set up. Love it there. I only stopped because of the parking poles blocking my shots
2:00 Wow 411 Sounds Great! 2:34 6540 Dang, I wish 2105 will Get The Horn Like This. 6:56 Northstar Since 2016 11:49 90221 Stills Looking Awesome Since Trains Meet And Races.
1:59 Bruh Metra 411 blaring it’s horn through town, it’s crazy! Plus the K5LA is bloody beautiful to listen to my ears!
I was very surprised to hear it! I don’t remember any of the MP36s with K5LAs that sounded that nice!

That would be awesome! I'll try to let you know next time I'm in town. I bet it looks great in the new paint!
@@CoasterFan2105 Awesome! We have plenty of historical artifacts from railroads all over Central Illinois, we think you'll absolutely love it!
Coasterfan2105 I love your videos, and I have always been into Trains since I was a really little kid, its to the point now where Im now a part of the Railfan Community. Keep up the great work mike armstrong.
Thank you, I will!
@CoasterFan2105 What's your favorite Railroad?
@@JamesTheNorfolkSouthernRailfan I've always been a big Southern Pacific and Santa Fe fan, but there are so many I like.
@CoasterFan2105 Same
Man, it's nice to see a CoasterFan video in the Midwest!
It was nice to visit! Hopefully many more times in the future!
@@CoasterFan2105 can u upload fast diesel trains pls
I do not think you could've picked a better thumbnail for this video Mike. Again, great work!!!
Well thank you! I had a few finalists for the thumbnail but settled on this one as the best choice. I always like those train meet scenes!
This one was easily the best
@@CoasterFan2105you always make good videos
7😉😏👀
3:39 nice shot of the SD70MACH!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I 100% LOVE STEAM LOCOMOTIVES THE MOST 🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋
That K5LA on Metra 411 was beautiful. Reminds me of the toasters.
The horn of the steam locomotives are amazing. A treat to listen to☺
Was at Chicago,IL and through Minnesota and Wisconsin, part of the Midwest back in mid-June. All those catches are wonderful.
I'd come back to the Midwest soon!
Thank you! It’s a great region for seeing trains.
Nostalgia from your old videos i used to always wake up and put that one for me and my little brother
Maybe I should re-edit all those old Midwest videos from 2008 some day! There are some that I never even uploaded to RUclips. Thanks for watching!
@@CoasterFan2105 and the popular videos bring back lots of memories
@ 0:41 Sounds Like the K5LAs GO Had on Their MP40s, Until they Replaced Them with K5CAs in 2012.
Great video!!! A lot of great catches and spots. 3:28..Wow. I caught something like that at Commerce BNSF a few days ago. It was CRSX 1235, in way better condition but seemed to be heading to the Anaheim Scrap yard.
This like horn GE U18C

Lots & Lots of Midwest Trains Galore, Great Video as Always Mike!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
The Midwest is definitely one of the best places for railfanning in all of North America. Nice video!
Incredible video!! Love seeing the variety of all these railroads in the Midwest and even museum trains.
Great compilation! 👍Have a good weekend!
Happy Friday And Have A Positive Summer Seasoning Celebration, +CoasterFan2105 ! !

You have to go to Greenfield Village in Dearborn Michigan. It's so cool! They have a mason bogie, 2 4-4-0's, and a General Electric 50-ton diesel
SURPRISINGLY APPROPRIATE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was having trouble trying to find the best railfanning spots at Illinois, but thankfully I’ve seen a few trains there so yeah
There’s a lot to choose from so sometimes, it’s difficult to pick a spot!
Yeah true
Old locomotives in 2024? Crazy!
W video as always!
Also, when were you at GLN (Glenview)? That’s my local metra!
8:01 I saw that train at NBK!
And your GLN Curve shots are amazing! When I was starting out, that’s exactly where I would set up. Love it there. I only stopped because of the parking poles blocking my shots
Great video Mike! I loved that part of the video where those two warbonnets appeared that was awesome! 😂👍🤩
INFINITE SMILEY FACES FOR VERY VERY EXCELLENT 😃😃😃
I saw a a track in Boston with the Serving America 50 years livery on it
Awesome!!
I actually saw the amtrak midwest train with the P42 leading the train in near BTL station
Awesome Video Mike! Keep up the good work!
Many thanks! Much appreciated.
No problem man! Your channel has been a huge part of my childhood and still is now! I’m really proud of your success!

I’m here an 14 minutes after the video is uploaded
Thanks for stopping by!
Great video Mike! 👍🎉
Great video
Wow! What are those cars at 1:30? They look very cool!
Amtrak Siemens Venture Cars!
@@Chicagorailfanner That's awesome! Are they new cars?
@@JDA0826 They came in late 2022 through early-mid 2023 so I would consider that new
@@Chicagorailfanner Nice! I can't wait to see them someday!

Wow looks like The Midwest trains has entered the channel this is really cool
When can their be a completion of Amtrak?
I’m glad to see that you finally made it to the Boone and Scenic Valley! How did you like the trains in my part of the country? Did you like the 8419?
Nice video, nice catches
Awesome
Was that the steam train 152 from the huckleberry railroad it had a different whistle
AMAZINGLY gooooood!!!!!!!!! What does ,,Midwest" mean btw? And where did you take the picture of these 2 (two/too🤣) locomotives?!
7:00 noot noot! XD
Epic
Have you ever railfaned on the Colorado joint line or the brush sub?
Can you do Metra 40th anniversary special with all the collection of Metra trains in and out of Chicago?
0:43 you just saw a special engine
10:34 it's too bad... it looks like 17 is missing a couple of pieces of it's driving rods mechanism 😢
Nice video! When's the best time to visit the Midwest?
