This video was recorded on 2/1/25.
My dad drove me out to West Chicago to see some UP and CN freights. Action was pretty decent throughout the day but we got there at 8:57am and stayed to about 1:53pm. I know NS 8100 passed later that same day but my parents had stuff to do in the city. It went by while I was eating dinner in Chicago.
