Nice catch on the Milwaukee heritage unit. Going to show my age but I can remember catching Amtrak turboliners at the Lake Cook grade crossing driving for my first full time job with the spur leading into the foundry at the northwest corner of the crossing, real Milwaukee Road freight and even rainbow era Amtrak as a kid.
Wow. That’s all stuff I have dreamed about seeing. It’s a different time now though. When I’m older, people that are my age now will with they saw the stuff that I saw. Thanks for the comment. -Danny
Sweet catches man! I've been meaning to railfan the C&M sub. don't have a friend for a lift to the tracks or contacts trackside apart from the yt comments.
It is a fun line but you have to go on the right day, because if you go for example between 9-4 on a day where only dailies run you will only get 3 CP trains but if you go on a good day you can get 7-10 trains
@@MainTrack1Prodctions I've caught over 60 trains on the C&M trains on my session of railfanning. I'd take 2102 to Deerfield or Northbrook then go go home on outbound 2151 or 2157
@@MainTrack1Prodctions that's because im the odd one in the railfan group. Not to beat myself up but even you would look at me like im on that level of wtf? You know? I take 2102 in Round Lake, 04:56. Woke up at 03:45 for this trip. Then I didn't come home til after 10pm. So I had to of taken 2151 home. How hours would you clock that in as....? Funny as a heart attack you think i like staying home while on call? I'd rather be out there... Prowling around all night dedicated.
