On June 12, 2016, Advanced Approach Videos took a trip to Rondout, Illinois. While the reason for the trip was to catch Nickel Plate Road Berkshire #765 on its Varsity excursion from Glenview, Illinois to Janesville, Wisconsin – we hung out at Rondout (a great railfan location) for the Metra, Amtrak and Canadian Pacific traffic. There’s more Metra, Amtrak and CP traffic than 765, but it’s all good railfanning. (RailfanDepot note: This is amatuer footage. We offer this for those who want more 765 and/or coverage of Rondout and the Chicago area.)
