Viewing Album:  07/27/08: Riverdale & Dolton, IL (Busy Yards, Slow Mainlines)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:7/27/2008 - 7/27/2008
Album Info:There was lots of activity at CSX's Barr Yard, IHB's Blue Island Yard, and UP's Dolton Yard Center but the mainlines in and around Dolton Crossing were kind of slow. I made the best of it on an overcast but warm July day. All pics in this album were taken between 1:30pm and 4pm CST.
