Viewing Album:  Chicago Trip (28th-30th)
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:3/30/2010 - 3/28/2010
Album Info:My first visit to the windy city's Southside of the year. CSX, as usual, was the feature presentation, although plenty of IHB and NS moves can be found as well. Most of my time was spent at Dolton and East Chicago this time. I had a great trip, plenty of SD40-2's kept me content, including a Conrail Quality leader for Y130 one morning. Thanks for looking, please leave comments!

Description:  After driving the whole night from Minneapolis, I arrive in Dolton to clouds an a run-of-the mill coal train with UP power off the CSX. But soon the mood would change, as I looked down to find two IHB SD20's throttling up past School Street.
