Two Days of the SP 4449

Clip 1: While my friend makes fun of his friend for his 1 foot tall tripod, a pair of Dash 9's lead the Rochelle local back to Eola just outside Shabbona.

BNSF 4816 & 5137

Clip 2: A quartet of GE's lead a Z-train through Shabbona.
After a quick shot to Rochelle, we patiently wait the Daylight in Shabbona, where we paced it to Waterman. That video should be up sometime soon.

Clip 3: "The Metra's like 'Look at me!'"
An outbound Metra slowly arrives through the madness at Naperville while the SP 4449 arrives, blowing its 1950's airhorn in the background.

METX 185

Clip 4: The Daylight departs the insane crowd at Naperville, while a BNSF Officer makes a futile attempt at keeping everyone behind the gates. Sadly, the P42 puts out more smoke than the Daylight.

Clip 5: A CP freight comes off of the UP connector at Techny and rumbles through Northbrook as the photographers and curious citizens assemble.

Clip 6: Before the frieght is over, Amtrak rockets through Northbrook sounding its K5L on a northbound Hiawatha.
