Brookfield Railfanning
Recorded on 12/18/20 from 6:30am-3:00pm
One of two trips left to go for 2020! We returned to the BNSF Racetrack once again for another filming day. We visited Brookfield for the first time. This visit was done in hopes of capturing more trains in the snow. However, the weather was still not in our favor since barely any snow came down in the Chicagoland area. The day started off slow as we were in the wrong place at the wrong time when train meets took place. But it didn’t take long for the day to change around especially just after 9am sharp on the clock. The freight traffic was fantastic as they came west and east every 15-20 minutes. However, the weather was quite chilly and remained cold for most of the day especially by the afternoon when it was time to pack it up and head home. The rail traffic was busy for most of the morning and into the mid-morning. By lunchtime and into the afternoon, the BNSF was quite quiet. Thankfully, when the weather was getting much more chilly, the tracks were quiet enough to where it was enough and we headed home. Overall, it was a solid day and we had a lot to work with during post-production. Coming up next is the last trackside trip of this year. What better way than to go full circle back to LaGrange from where it started back in January. Enjoy the video from the BNSF Racetrack in Brookfield!
