Jan and I went on a bike ride this afternoon. We rode from Geneva to Wheaton (and back :).

We crossed a bridge over the old EJ&E mainline now CN (Canadian National)

Check out this picture and video...

Notice how the mainline and yard tracks are equidistant to one another.

.24 length

At the end of our ride we rode past the West Chicago Metra Depot (on left out of picture).

Across the tracks are the UP training facilities and JetSert. 

Maybe a modeling opportunity?

No pictures, but Josh and Jordan came over to prepare the way for tomorrow's train session.
We put away tools and did a general clean-up.

Weekly Train Session

Made some decisions at Union Station.

We decided to have the track end at the end of the framework.
Later we'll come back and add a section to extend the platform.

 Here is Ed Nelson and Dean Hatzis working on some track laying at Union Station.

Working on the details.
The more attention to detail you give now, the better the trains will run later.

Jordan Osborn and I worked on the new camera set-up.
See the new camera just to the left of where Jordan is standing mounted on the floor joist.
Unfortunately I still need to purchase some adapters so the connections can be possible.
Bummer!
