Railfanning in HO scale

I  put this together using pinnacle studio. I am going to use pinnacle studio  for my video editing software. 

Union Pacific Supprise

I luckily got to film this special UP train. It was special because although UP owns the line there is just about no freight on the line. All the line usually sees is passenger trains (Metra).

Engine 1:

UP 8-41CW 9444

Engine 2

UP AC44CWCTE 5636


Engine 3
UP AC44CW 6679


Engine 4

Watch part 1

I can't get the video to upload so I will tell you. I am redoing my track. All of my track.

Layout update 5 part 1

I have been doing a few things around the layout, but I have one major surprise...

Second time railfanning with pictures.

I went by the Union Pacific "New Line" in North Brook and saw three Union Pacific SD90s come and then idle on top of a bridge (edit: at Shemer Juntion). They were idling for at least 2 hours. Sorry for the bad quality.
edit: Locos:
1. UNKNOWN (Blocked in every photo, tough luck)
2. UP 8123 (EMD SD9043MAC)

  Some pictures were taken with a 3DS.
