Step onto the captivating world of Hotrail Productions, where the magic of lights, camera, and trains combines to create an unforgettable experience. I travel all over the country photographing railroad history in the making. My footage dates back to 1995. Whether it's a thrilling action sequence or a heartwarming romantic scene, the railway has long been a favorite setting for filmmakers and TV producers.

Railroad Crossing Arms With Offset Bell
At Plainfield, Illinois a railroad crossing gate at Main Street on CN's EJ&E mainline seems to have a crossing bell that is out of synch.
Old C&NW Bi-Levels and Conductors at Dee Road Station in 1995!
Inbound Metra train 656 stops at Dee Road with the conductors getting some Hollywood attention! According to the Metra train schedules, this is train 656 to Chicago. To my knowledge, all of these classic railcars have been retired. This the former C&NW Railroad mainline to Harvard. This station no longer exists.
