Nice video, one of my favorite spots to railfan!

Nice overhead view!

[@albertcarello619]

This junction was even much more exciting when the North Shore Line was running up above the Milwaukee Road tracks now METRA, AMTRAK, CANADIAN PACIFIC AND WISCONSIN SOUTHERN. The EJ& E was also much busier before CN acquisition.

Please make more videos. I want you to make videos again. Please

[@TheActualKingOfRailfanning]

I love the music you put on

[@jawtooth963]

The view from the North Shore Bike Path in Lake Bluff, Illinois is incredible!! I want to visit that and spend a whole day up there filming!!

[@williampompa4749]

NS is one of my favorite trains...

[@albertcarello619]

@williampopa4749: If you drive to Hegewisch ILLINOIS in South East Chicago you'll see plenty of Norfolk &Southern Freights when you park in the South Shore parking lot and also catch them at the "AVENUE O" RAILROAD CROSSING.

[@albertcarello619]

The former EJ&E TRACK now CN sees practically no service. It use to be much busier when it was the "J" line before. Just one track when there use to be 2 tracks. I wonder if it's going to be abandoned!?
