I went out on a Friday morning to capture a couple of trains passing though Hinsdale, IL along the BNSF. Several villages along the line have Christmas decorations at or near the various train stations. With the snow falling, it adds a nice touch. When it runs during dark hours, the Metra holiday train is great to see.
Additional footage that I captured after daybreak on Friday, December 20, 2024 which includes some freight trains will be posted on the @MetraBNSF channel.
