Rails Chicago was originally released in 1987. Since that time, quite a bit of additional material has come to light, including video captured by Steve Neff of Neff Video Productions.
It is Green Frog’s intent to maintain the highest standards of video and audio productions for the railfan to enjoy. So with this re-release, we present much of what was part of Rails Chicago first released in 1987, and additional material from Green Frog and Neff Video.
There is more detail on locations, locomotives and especially the railroads themselves. The following railroads, as they operated in 1987, are displayed:
Indiana Harbor Belt
Santa Fe
Conrail
Grand Trunk
Illinois Central

This video provides tremendous highlights into the hub of rail action in the United States.
