Naperville Railfanning
Recorded on 2/7/20 from 7:00am-4:00pm

A-Train4014 Productions returns to the BNSF Chicago Subdivision also known as the BNSF Racetrack on another chilly Friday. Last time, we were in LaGrange, IL with Chessie the Railfan Cat and 4014 The Boss steam locomotive. This week, we headed to Naperville, IL with the addition of new camera equipment. We have recently acquired a new tripod to the production and we’re hoping for improving results for less camera shakes. So we hoped this new tripod would pay off as we received positive outcomes and we were definitely satisfied. As a result, we plan to use this new tripod in future railroad videos. In addition, we have been practicing a familiar camera technique. So you may see a familiar camera zoom technique that we have previously done in past videos. While we’re still practicing our camera zoom shots, we certainly apologize for the minor mistakes that we have made so please be patient with us. As mentioned earlier, the weather was fairly chilly especially in the morning and finally for the first time in 2020, the sun came out while we were outside! While we were there, the action was pretty busy at first. However, it became a bit inconsistent around lunch time. Turns out, it was perfect timing because we were able to have a nice long lunch break before the action began to pick up. Overall, it was a really fun and productive day. It was also certainly one of our favorite days that we’ve had so far this year. We hope for more trips later this month! Enjoy the full video from Naperville, IL!
