Riverside Railfanning
Recorded on 7/28/20 from 6:15am-6:30pm
Another busy day along the tracks is in the books. In fact, this may mark the busiest day trackside in our five year history. This week, we head back to the BNSF Chicago Subdivision “BNSF Racetrack” in Riverside. We were put to work right away as trains kept us busy all morning until lunch. By then, the traffic settled down and we were able to take a break as well as eat lunch before we were immediately put back to work as trains came east and west every 15-25 minutes. However, every time we tried to pack up and head home, another train would sneak it’s way through. The weather started off cloudy with some rain all morning and a little bit into the afternoon. Eventually, the sun started to peek through the clouds by the late afternoon. We were definitely exhausted after a very busy day but very pleased after coming home with 60+ trains on camera. After filming in Riverside, we’re definitely coming back here to film trains in the near future! Coming up next is our trip to Rochelle Railroad Park where the BNSF Aurora Subdivision crosses the Union Pacific Geneva Subdivision. In fact, one year ago, the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 traveled through that exact spot on July 30, 2019. Enjoy the busy rail action on the BNSF from Riverside!
