Viewing Album:  06/16/08: Chicago Ridge, IL (Railfanning My Backyard)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:6/16/2008 - 6/16/2008
Album Info:I had the day off and decided to stay within my town of residence more out of gas prices and laziness than anything else. I stayed near the IHB/Metra diamonds just east of 103rd and Ridgeland and utilized the IHB right-of-way next to the Metra parking lot for most of the pics. The first few shots in the album came from Frontier Park at 98th and Sayre.
