Railfanning a blast in Indiana: A Heritage Locomotive, Snow, and a friend make for blast weekend !

As if the almost non-stop exhilaration of non-stop trains in Indiana on NS' Chicago Line isn't enough, there's the little things that make the icing on the cake of a special weekend. When you add a friend who's also a train junkie in need of the same train fix, especially NS train fix, it makes a memorable, blast of a weekend! The two of you will have continuous fun, and you'll hate to leave until you "see that one last train," and "that last train", and "this last train." Well, this weekend was just a dream for me and my friend Chris, a simple railfan, like me.

Chris' trainfaning (railfanning) consists of writing down the trains he sees in a notebook and shooting a video with his phone while in his car. That's his thing, and we all have our things when is comes to trains. In a about a day and a half in Porter-Chesterton, he recorded 52 trains!
