Trains, Birds, & Planes of Illinois - Invidious

Trains, Birds, & Planes of Illinois

2024 was the best year of railfanning

Hello! My name is Archer, and here’s my channel. I usually do alot of videos on the Union Pacific Geneva sub/Metra Union Pacific West line because thats my closest railway. Here, people of all ages can watch videos and shorts of trains from all around Chicagoland! I’m also a fan of birds and will occasionally post videos of birds. Im also a fan of Aviation, so i will post videos of planes and helicopters, but our main focus is trains. You will also see weather and even outer space content occasionally. And of course, also expect videos of trains out of my home state, Illinois. Thats pretty much all i have to say. New railfanning spots will come!

Equipment:
Video: iPhone 11, JVC Camcorder, Canon SX520 HS(sometimes), and a old green camera for backup
Photo: Canon SX520 HS, and mostly iPhone 11 photos
