BNSF 4591
Title:  BNSF 4591
Description:  Last stop is on the way home is Bridgeview where there's usually a train idling on the IHB main just south of 71st Street. I spotted this mixed BNSF/UP/NS auto rack train and as soon as I parked an extremely annoying railfan immediately came up to me started talking my ears off and asking a ton of questions. As I walked down the IHB main to get this shot he kept telling me to be careful and to watch out for the police. Attention railfans, just because someone else is taking pictures of trains does not make you obligated to bother them incessantly and ask stupid questions!
