Instead of going to Bedford Park I choes to go to Naperville, which is closer to my house, and I could also meet up with Nictrain35 (mistake), EJE 665, and Flickr contributor Mickey B Photography. Larris showed up as well (fag).
Train 1: Inbound Metra. I didn't film the other inbound or outbound because they're Metra's.
Train 2: Nice crew for this BNSF coal train. BNSF 70MAC 8895 brings a long snowy train through Naperville.

Train 3: Nick's fat arm gets in the way of the Cool Amtrak engineer. Due to an air hose break, 380 was stopped at Naperville for an extra 7 minutes. Just enough time to get down to Loomis and get more horn.
Train 5: Inbound Metra.
Train 6: Running wrong main, a BNSF coal with two Gevos kicks up dust under the soon to be gone (pending) signal bridge.
Trains 7 and 8: Metra Meet! Outbound meets inbound. Neat occurrence.
Train 9: One of only a handful of BNSF H3 Dash 9's, this one #4484, runs wrong main through Naperville on a stack. Great K3!
Train 10: An NS manifest surprises us while the stack train is still passing. Everything is on the wrong main today! No track work being done either!
Train 11: A really neat Leslie S-2 air horn on this Metra cab car!

For about a half hour, we were looking at a solid green board.

Train 12: What's red white and blue and snowy all over. Two words, plus comments... HOLY SHIT! Now for the comments, BNSF 4161 and BCOL 4464, one of only a handful of BCRail C44-9WL's in existance, runs second on BNSF M BRCKCK.

Train 13: BNSF 1069 runs wrong main with a long grain train and kicks up snow. And more snow. And even more snow.

Train 14: Metra Outbound.

Train 15: A BNSF Stack, Z CHCPTL, cruises down M2 westbound through the Amtrak station.
Train 16: We all left to get food and I was the first to come back. Two BNSF H1's and an NS Gevo glide down M2 with another grain train.
Train 17: Amtrak 4 pulls into the station.
