Ogden Dunes-Chesterton Railfanning

On the 4th of July, we planned to make a fun little trip over to the NS Chicago Line at Ogden Dunes and Chesterton. However, we didn't even plan on putting a video together but since we had so much fun and lots of footage while we were out there, we may as well make a video for all of you. We started at Ogden Dunes for the first half of the day and then headed over to Riley's Railhouse in Chesterton just after lunch to catch trains in hopes of getting fireworks in the background lighting up the night sky on this 4th of July. Even though we didn't get the shots, we still were able to find a candidate for Highlight of the Day. Another fun railfanning video is in the books. Enjoy the video!

4 July 2024 proved to be a fantastic day of railfanning for the A=Train 4014 Productions crew at Ogden Dunes and Chesterton, Indiana, Andrew! You caught a nice variety of Norfolk Southern, South Shore commuter trains and Amtrak trains through the day and into the night. Thank you for putting this video together and for uploading it for us to enjoy. (Posted 7 July 2024 at 2309 CDT.)

Awesome video Andrew! Loved the South Shore action from Ogden Dunes. Was great to hang out with you guys in Chesterton. Seeing the trains' headlights cut through the firework smoke was wicked cool. Hope y'all can come back out again sometime. Take care!

Great video, Andrew! I was hopin' you would film the South Shore sometime, and now I'm more than ready to see Metra Electric from you soon! As for the trains you got this day, I find it a pity that 108's 90's K5LA was replaced by a Raised Letter, but the Raised Letter K5LA it has here sounds very clean and confident like 160's.
