After Work Railfanning: BNSF, Amtrak, Metra & CSX Trains with Thunderstorms and Sunshine

Join me for an after-work railfanning session along the busy BNSF Railway as a wide variety of trains roll by! In this video, you'll see an Amtrak passenger train, Metra commuter trains, BNSF freight trains, and even a CSX tanker train as they pass through the western suburbs of Chicago. Thunderstorms threaten in the distance, with rumbling thunder providing a dramatic backdrop, but the storms stay west, giving way to a beautiful golden evening filled with rail action.

Whether you're a lifelong railfan or just enjoy watching real trains in motion, this video has something for everyone. Shot in real time with natural ambient sound, it captures the energy of a rail line that rarely slows down.
