As the Daylight prepared to head back west after Train Festival '09 in Michigan, my brother and I scoped out some locations around Chicago to film its return voyage, and made a stop at Union Station and a very nice Metra station in Lake Forest, Illinois. Other than the loud crossing bell, it's an exceptional place to watch if you like passenger trains and the very occasional freight.
Nice close-ups of the Hiawathas and Empire Builder at speed. Also interesting the departure of The California Zephyr leaving Union Station.
