Viewing Album:  Chicago Trip (6th-8th)
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:7/8/2010 - 7/6/2010
Album Info:Another Southside vacation, for what else other than CSX stuff. This trip featured more variety, such as CF&E and even a visit from the IC&E on an ethanol. But the CSX definately came through yet again, with the best catch being Q588-Y123 with a pair of 84XX's for power, one being a rare YN1 without a white cab roof to boot. So enjoy and leave comments!
