Elmhurst railfanner

Hello railfans! I mostly post videos on the UP Geneva sub in Elmhurst Illinois. Here on this channel you will mostly see mainline freight trains along with Metra commuter trains. Sometimes I will go on the road to other railfanning hotspots across the US. I also own a DJI Mini 3 drone for railfanning. I use hertageunits.com and the Geneva Sub Facebook group for information off site. I also have a playlist of some railcams I use onsite for info. Thanks for checking out my channel and subscribing guarantees a heritage unit comes to your local train line(s)!



Also you can use my sounds and clips from my videos to remake something but you have to tag me somewhere. Otherwise I will be mad and take it down.

    Elmhurst is a quiet zone meaning they don’t blow the horn sequence. Most if not all of Chicagoland is like this now

We're investing big to help keep our country in the lead (Go!) We keep moving to deliver what you need And that means (jobs!)
