Railfanning Indiana And Illinois 2/26/26

Описание: Three videos in a row, way to go.

Today, I was initially going to go railfanning regardless today, but I made the decision to head to Indiana for the first part of my day after hearing that Amtrak 49 would have the 145 leading yet again and this time had Amtrak 90406 trailing on the rear of the train, likely heading to Beech Grove with an uncertain future. But after that I stuck around for a bit and managed to get a few other trains including an MRL SD70ACe and two moves on the South Shore before heading to Dolton and Burnham for a bit before heading back to the Dunes later in the day to snag CP 7021 on CPKC 331, all in all, not a bad day. Enjoy!
