Over the years, we have used many scenes filmed at night in our video productions. Due to feedback from our viewers, we are now proud to release a video filmed completely after dark.
Night Trains looks at the railroad scene in urban, small town and rural areas, all between sunrise and sunset. The first portion of the program covers the Amtrak and Metra commuter traffic at Chicago’s Union Station as the January sun sets. Then we move into rural and small town settings, catching mainline and switching action. There are high speed freight and passenger trains, trains moving at slow speeds through junctions, and a local crew working a coal loadout.
This is the only video of its kind that we are aware of. One viewer wrote back after watching it and proclaimed it a work of art.
