Date: 12/11/18 05:16 Re: Cold Chicago Sunshine Author: zchcsse Excellent shots! That first one is one of those consists that makes you wonder what extended series of events led to the creation of such a consist, and for it to show up on a NS to BNSF run-thru train.
-Tom Date: 12/11/18 06:49 Re: Cold Chicago Sunshine Author: Bob3985 A great photo essay. I remember growing up back in Lockport and being around when the Prudential building was the tallest one in Chicago and look how it has grown up.
I hope soon to dig into the basement and start sorting out my slide collection and scanning what I have. I know somewhere in the abyss I have a slide carousel of Chicago slides from a show I did years ago.

Robert Oloffson Wyanet, IL Date: 12/11/18 12:45 Re: Cold Chicago Sunshine Author: mapboy That's a great first shot! How often do you see power from railroads of three countries?
mapboy Date: 12/11/18 15:16 Re: Cold Chicago Sunshine Author: brc600 If they have the time, then it usually backs in. I've ridden Omaha to Chicago many times. Others can chime in with additional feedback.
