Viewing Album:  Chicago Trip (11-9,11-11)
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:11/9/2011 - 11/11/2011
Album Info:Another getaway to the Southside of Chicago for a few days netted some delicious catches even if the clouds persisted for most of the trip. Three 8400's, class SD40-3, SD50-2 and a Seaboard lineage SD40-2 were all found and leading. I also finally took a drive over to Woodcrest to pay my respects to the many WC's, IC's, GTW's, and DWP's that have met their demise over the years. Enjoy and leave comments!

A Vet

Description:  I couldnt quite believe my eyes when this thing trailed third out on a stacker out of Yard Center. Ive never seen a UP unit so faded, and seeing this reminded me of the "old" UP that the Villa Grove Sub used to be made up of.

Old Friends
Title:  Old Friends
Description:  On the way back towards Dolton I made a quick pit stop to a yard that I have long hated. When I was younger this was the place that you never wanted WC's to come to, as this was the final resting place for many of them. So to find a few maroon and gold GP40's about the complex was only right, and It was nice to see some old friends again after quite a few years.
