Railfanning Blue Island Junction on 5/13/15

[@JawTooth]

I wish I could railfan there. I have to look that up on Google maps. Cool video!

[@Railroadfan5383]

Jaw Tooth If you can ever make the trip, its well worth it. Thanks!

[@JawTooth]

***** Have a good evening!

[@RailfanDaniel1997]

Great shots, Fred!

[@Railroadfan5383]

Southeastern Railfan Productions Thanks Dan!

[@YardLimit]

Nice work!

[@Railroadfan5383]

Thanks!

[@Bbbong]

I've been to the Indiana harbor belt railroad yard before since my family has a friend who is a yard manager

[@CombatBuckee]

Went there today and saw roughly the same amount of trains. Was a very rainy day too

[@roberthassan4411]

Wish the Grand Trunk Western was still running through this area, they use to have a small transfer yard just south of here before CN shut the GT down.

[@MrTrain513]

nice spot

[@Railroadfan5383]

Well of course it is! lmao

[@RunninEight]

Awesome video! Kinda ironic you didn't catch IAIS 513 if you railfanned there on 5/13 :P Lol. May I ask what kind of camcorder you use? I'm thinking of upgrading from an iPod on a tripod to an actual camera, haha! Thanks!

[@Railroadfan5383]

Oh haha, good one actually. 513 comes and goes of course, just wasnt there that day. I use a Sony CX-240, but Sony has a newer model that has a few upgrades and its a different number than 240. (you know how every year companies come out with products that are better and better than the previous)

[@RunninEight]

+Railroadfan5383 Oh ok, thanks man!

[@Railroadfan5383]

+TrainBoy2448 No problem. I also watched some of your videos too, you have some pretty cool stuff. What town do you live in out there? You go to Rochelle sometimes, Ive been there my fair share of times already this year. Ever get closer to Chicago for railfanning?

[@RunninEight]

+Railroadfan5383 Thanks! I live close to the Mississippi River in a small town named Geneseo. We have an IAIS main line that I've caught some cool stuff on and then my main Railfanning trips are to Rochelle. I don't get to railfan often because I don't have my license yet and/or anybody to drive me but once I do I definetly plan to go Railfanning way more often, and I do plan to go to some places near Chicago! The BNSF racetrack is definetly something on my list. Also, I looked into the X240, it's a little bit out of my price range but do you have or know anyone with experience with either the Samsung HMX-F900 or the Samsung F90? I'm thinking about one of those two.

[@RunninEight]

+Railroadfan5383 Nevermind! I was actually able to find a CX-240 within my price range. Thanks for the info man!

[@kyleb06]

Cool!

[@BNKATO]

A video uploaded within a month of it being recorded?? Mind = Blown

[@BNKATO]

I think we need to mark this in our history books! :P

[@Railroadfan5383]

BNKATO Ayy lmao

[@royubaldo9391]

(1:12) that csx locomotive sounds like a metra mp36.

[@Railroadfan5383]

The horns on a Metra MP36 and the CSX SD60I are both Nathan K5LAs, so yep they sound the same.

[@MPIEMDRailfan4]

I've seen P5s on MP36s before. There was one in your Franklin Park rush hour video.

Where in Blue Island is this?
