Viewing Album:  Railfanning "The Region". 12/9/2017
 
By:Jacob Werling
Dates:12/9/2017 - 12/9/2017
Album Info:Because my dad and I were unable to make the Great Midwest Train Show in Wheaton, IL this past October, we decided to go in December. Unlike our usual one day outing, we decided to make it 2 days because there was a smaller train show in Hobart, IN that we had never been to the day before. The first day being on the Indiana side railfanning Pine Jct and other various Chicago Suburbs and the 2nd Day on the Illinois side in Wheaton and Blue Island. This album features photos from Day 1 after the first train show in Hobart, IN. Enjoy!

All in a days work
Title:  All in a days work
Description:  Right when the small CN steel pulldown was ready to back up, one of the switches froze up. The conductors had to go back and try to get it unstuck. They prodded, thawed, and messed with it for over an hour in the bitter cold. The high temperature was only 12 degrees today and the wind chill was -15 degrees. We thought we were cold!

IC 1027
Title:  IC 1027
Description:  After leaving Pine, we took one more swing around Kirk Yard to see if there were any CN trains waiting to go into the yard, and sure enough there was. A manifest with 7 engines, including an IC Deathstar 3rd in line, was waiting for permission. We pulled off at an auto dealership to take photos of the deathstar. This would serve as the final train of the day. What a first day it was! 43 trains all together with some pretty nice catches! And Pine Jct, is just like everyne says it is, unstoppable! Every time one train would pass, you could see the next one! Despite it being so cold and snowy it was very fun! Tomorrow we go to church and the Great Midwest Train Show in Wheaton, IL then watch trains afterwards! Very good day! Hope to go back to Pine again soon!
