During the heatwave Michigan has been getting for February, (first time in over 120 years that we had a week of temps way above average) I took some time out of my busy week to do some railfanning. I decided to hit up Battle Creek which I have not done in forever. Action was a bit slow but still ended up with three Amtrak trains and eight Canadian National trains. Tons of variety are seen in this video. Enjoy!
