About Me:
Welcome to the Midwest's largest railfan channel. Most of the videos you see are well, from the Midwest, mainly Chicagoland. I try to keep the videos I upload basic. That means no fancy editing, special effects, etc. Just high-quality rail videos showing the trains as they are, how I saw them. Who ever said there was anything wrong with keeping it real???
Cameras I use: Sony HDR-SR500V Handycam Sony HDR-SR5 Handycam Sony DSC-T10 Canon Digital Rebel XS SLR

Also known as the "Zoo Stop," Hollywood Metra is one of three stations in Brookfield. The Brookfield Zoo is located only a few blocks from here and the rock formations used as passenger shelters mimic those inside the animal exhibits. Many of you are familiar with my footage from Congress Park West of here. between Congress Park and Hollywood is the Brookfield Station. Today was pretty slow for freights with the time being I was there.

9:17AM- The three minute late 1227 gives a few warning honks to the city workers replacing light bulbs on the platform. F40PHM-2 #196

10:56AM- Metra 1229 arrives four minutes late even though freight traffic is sparse this morning. MP36PH-3 #403

12:53AM- 1231 only discharged one passenger at the Brookfield stop. No one got on either. F40PHM-2 #187
1:14PM- 1266 makes it's station stop a little bit behind schedule but soon makes up for that lost time since there was minimal passenger loading. Cab Car #8608 MP36PH-3 #403

Fullerton, California - A Railfan's Heaven: Day 1
During the Summer of the 2008, I was invited by Train Simulator 2 Members to Look at their new simulator at the NMRA Convention in Anaheim,CA.
After spending an almost all day love affair with MSTS 2, I decided to Railfan Fullerton,CA later that afternoon this is what I caught my first day out at Fullerton,CA.
I also got to Meet YouTube User "Trains232" or Robert as you Californians already know.
I had taken this down shortly after the intentional upload due to my personal thoughts on the video, about 5 months later I am now pleased with the result(s) and have re-uploaded it for your enjoyment.

Take notice: I'm clapping like you idiot foamers, I'm Bowing down to all mighty China Shipping, and yelling SWIFT! at random containers as Arkansas isn't cool enough to have those on our Intermodal Trains, ....damn.

If you are offended by this, well shit too bad you do it in California! I'm showing how ridiculous you are!
