What a fun and exciting day it was watching and filming trains on a gorgeous day with perfect weather conditions in Chesterton Indiana on July 6th, 2024. Not just did I do a huge meetup with some of my friends and met some new people, It was also ‪@masonrailfanningvids‬'s 18th birthday!! So to celebrate, we held a birthday bash at Riley's Railhouse and it quite was a success. Featuring more than an hour of nonstop train action, this video has it all in terms of variety. Most importantly, special thank you to everyone I met for the fun lasting memories, this certainly won't be the final time I do something as fun as this!
