We’ll start our trip in Chesterton, Indiana on the 25th, Where my dad and I will boondock next to Riley’s Railhouse and *attempt* to sleep.
The next morning (3/26) We’ll find ourselves on the road heading toward Fort Madison, Iowa for some epic drone shots of trains crossing the Mississippi River swing bridge in Fort Madison and watching endless lines of trains, We’ll be spending 1 1/2 days there, and sometime will be spent with family

On 3/28, We’ll head to the land of the hotshots, La Plata, Missouri. Where we’ll film some of the fastest freight trains in the world on the BNSF transcon, we’ll be spending the night at La Plata, but don’t expect me to leave the platform much, I’m pulling an all nighter!
On 3/29, we’ll be heading for one of the coolest railfanning places (in my opinion), Santa Fe Junction in Kansas City, Missouri, of the stops on the trip, this is one of the spots I have yet to go to and I’ve been wanting to for a long time. Me also being a foodie I’ll be making a stop at slaps barbecue restaurant for some true KC ribs! We’ll head back to La Plata that night.
On 3/30, We’ll start our way toward Chicago, where the possibilities are endless for railfanning, me and some of my buddies will meet up on the next day in La Grange, Illinois on BNSF racetrack and yet again, see endless lines of trains, at some point around 2 PM I’ll run over to Glenview to catch Amtrak #7 with the new ALC42’s on it (preferably leading).
On 4/2, we’ll leave Chicago bound for Porter Junction, near Chesterton. Where we’ll catch more Chicagoline trains and also see some CSX action. That night we’ll head to Bangor, Michigan and take some real time to relax, until…
4/3, I’ll be up bright and early in Bangor to catch Amtrak P371 and CSX Q327, I’ve heard Bangor is very good for drone shots of trains going through downtown, and I’m certainly putting the test when Q326 passes east, then we’ll head home from Bangor.
You can track the progress on our trip, since most of the locations we’re going to have railcams, if all goes well, you’ll see me on these cameras!

If anyone goes on any of those cameras, look out for a black tripod with a small camcorder on top, a dude with a DSLR camera and a drone, odds are, that’s me!
Let’s have a little game too, if anyone spots me on one of the cameras, take a screenshot and post it in here, kinda like a Jochs and Folks sighting
