WB Metra & Amtrak 380 at River Rd
In the final video of midwestern railfanning, we have a WB Metra and Amtrak 380 seen here crossing River Rd on the BNSF Line between Aurora and Naperville. I wouldn't have much time to spend out here railfanning since my flight out of O'Hare was scheduled to leave later this afternoon, so I had to make the most of it while I was here after doing a bit of sightseeing in downtown Aurora that morning. Was glad to at least get these two passenger trains here, but as I was leaving, a westbound grain train with BNSF power up front and CSX power on the rear came out of nowhere. Was bummed that I didn't get to catch that, but otherwise had a good trip coming out here, and look forward to visiting Chicago again! As always, enjoy the video!
