HOTRAIL PRODUCTIONS
Step onto the captivating world of Hotrail Productions, where the magic of lights, camera, and trains combines to create an unforgettable experience. I travel all over the country photographing railroad history in the making. My footage dates back to 1995. Whether it's a thrilling action sequence or a heartwarming romantic scene, the railway has long been a favorite setting for filmmakers and TV producers.

In a blurry leftover scene from my archives, Amtrak's northbound Lake Country Limited passes the Metra station at Grayslake, Illinois. Power on this occasion was a Genesis diesel and the usual Horizon coach and baggage car. Afterward, my brother traps a mouse between the rails.

Power is an SD40-2, a C39-8, and an SD40-2 with a high nose. Note the block of "shorty" tank cars and piece of track in the gondola. At one time, the NYC had a branch line that passed through here, and the ROW is visible crossing the NS. A segment of the line remains to the north to serve a quarry at Spore. A new connecting track off the Fort Wayne Line provides access. =========================================================================== 🛩️Drones! https://geni.us/multipledrones
