Rondout Railfanning

[@slyraven99]

I always enjoy coming to this spot late at night. Pretty fun to watch Wisconsin Southern freight trains branch off towards Libertyville like the Metra trains

[@markusdude1]

#123's Old Cast P5 and bronze bell give me a somewhat '80s and '90s vibe and I love it

[@wisconsinrailfanner8963]

Man that old cast P5A (I think) at 4:07 sounds amazing.

[@meverything2216]

That’s a Nathan P5 it’s not a P5A

[@meverything2216]

It’s a P5A sorry I was a noob back then

[@jaredteitelbaum8087]

I noticed the NS New York Central Heritage unit at 16:43. Thats a good catch

[@ATrain4014]

Thank you!

[@jaydeezkeys3722]

AWESOME meet with Train #8 and #7!!!

[@AndrewOsborne]

I took that 199 train from Portage straight to the Twin Cities that night! I work for Canadian Pacific Railway as a train engineer out of the Twin Cities.

[@northwestindianarailfanner171]

I was on the Hiawatha it went through Rondout around 2:00 ish I was waving at you guys. As always awesome content keep it up!!

[@ATrain4014]

Thank you, Ethan!

[@dwkcamman611]

[@ATrain4014]

Thank you!

[@planeflight1202]

That track that crosses the main line parallel to the bridge form when was it in use I never see trains on it.

[@SamLovesTrains]

[@judpowell1756]

in the early 70's I would walk the North Shore interurban ROW from Great Lakes through the former Lower Upton junction to Roundout

A Canadian pacific train with a 3rd gen k5la?? 2:39

[@KDapple]

7:13 looks like Metra bought an Amtrak California loco since their being replaced by the Siemens Chargers

[@saskatchewanrailfan8149]

Yeah

[@trainworldstudio7185]

Awsome love your vid!

[@ATrain4014]

Thank you!

[@TrainsTrainsandMoreTrains]

Why did that inbound at 28:17 go past the metra junction?

[@AndrewOsborne]

Trains, Trains, and More Trains Yea! That was strange that a Metra train was on the C&M north of Rondout! They all should turn off there and head for Fox Lake! Totally weird!

[@ATrain4014]

Metra recently had a schedule change on the Milwaukee District North Line to accommodate more passengers near Lake Forest during the evening rush hour. Hope this answers your question. -Andrew Mangalindan

Nice Video

[@bluespeedforce112]

1:46 i saw that CN local by waukegan IL they where removing a few car on the former EJ&E line waukegan terminal shared to union pacific

[@jalilmuhammad8270]

Former Milwaukee Road mainline to Milwaukee.

[@northwestindianarailfanner171]

Time stamp 20:15

[@Chicagorailfanner]

where is this because I want to railfan at it

[@Ian-ne9lk]

That's interesting that the Waukegan Local didn't return. Were you trackside the whole time or did you take a lunch break or something?

[@ATrain4014]

Unfortunately, my phone battery died by the time the Waukegan local returned so I didn't stand a chance of filming it by the time it came back. -Andrew Mangalindan

[@Ian-ne9lk]

@@ATrain4014 Ok, so did it return after 6:30 pm?

[@ATrain4014]

I don't remember off the top of my head of when exactly returned to the diamond at Rondout. I believe it was somewhere between 9-10am on that day.

[@Ian-ne9lk]

@@ATrain4014 Oh ok, that makes much more sense

[@saskatchewanrailfan8149]

1:47 u caught a GT train 🚂

[@railyardfilms6491]

Cp magic

[@Georgiarailvideos6325]

what trains go pass rondout is it owned by CP or NS

[@ATrain4014]

The tracks at Rondout are CP trackage. Anywhere south of this section and anywhere north of Northbrook at Junction A20 is where you’ll see the most train action. Most of the Metra trains, Amtrak Hiawatha trains, Amtrak Empire Builder 8 and 7, and various Canadian Pacific freight trains pass through here. Hope this helps! -Andrew Mangalindan
