Viewing Album:  11/12/06: Riverdale, Dolton & Blue Island, IL (CSX Fest 2006...does anyone else work on Sundays?)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:11/12/2006 - 11/12/2006
Album Info:OK so I'm exaggerating a little bit. I did get some IHB, CP, BNSF, UP and NS pics but the overwhelming majority today came from the CSX. Couldn't ask for better conditions today, mild temps, clear skies and no wind made for a great railfanning day.
