Railfanning in IL
Posted by tuilockie on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 4:21 PM

Hello everybody,

At the end of the month I am driving to IL purely to watch trains. Currently I am in OH and I have decided I need a change from NS and CSX. Don't get me wrong, I like them both, I just need change in my viewing.

So I am hoping to catch, UP, BNSF, AMTRAK, METRA, the L, the South Shore Line and perhaps a short line or two.

Now, I am probably being greedy in what I want to see as I will arrive in IL late Friday night and leave around midday Sunday.

My question is the following, is it worth me going to Rochell with all that I want to watch? What about Joliet?
