Viewing Album:  Winter Railfanning with Nick and Ethan: 12/27/2019
 
By:Jacob Werling
Dates:12/27/2019 - 12/27/2019
Album Info:This year for our annual Winter Outing, Nick, Ethan, and I decided to do some close-to-home railfanning on the Chicago Mainlines, including some street running in Warsaw on the Marion District. The street running portion in Warsaw is slated to be removed during the Summer of 2020, so it was a must to get there! Saw plenty of trains and had a great time!

NS 3659
Title:  NS 3659
Description:  Nick has finally arrived for the Winter Holiday, so Ethan, him, and I all decided to do some railfanning on the Chicago Mainlines today. The primary goal of the day is to get some street running action in Warsaw. First off, though, since Nick was too impatient to wait on any CSX trains at Bluegrass Cut, we went up to Wawaka to catch some action on the Chicago Line. First off was NS 20E speeding east towards New Jersey. Camera settings were not quite right for this one.
