Railfanning Naperville, IL 2/3/26
Every year of my life recently I seem to end up back in Chicago, Illinois. My partner and I were out to see the Sonic the Hedgehog pop-up cafe, the Museum of Science and Industry, among other sidequests, but we made some time to railfan along the way. Here's three trains we saw during our travels, along with a little bit of history regarding the ever-so-popular BNSF Racetrack!
