Nostalgia & History > IAIS - Location help- Chicago areaDate: 11/21/14 04:37 IAIS - Location help- Chicago area Author: robj Found this box from 1994 with some Chicago Central and then a few IAIS from Nov, 1994. I was wondering about the location, of the top one. Would be nearer Blue Island?? The second photo was actually before the first. Looks like some type of yard or almost commuter yard. I know, not too much to go on.
Thanks, Bob Jordan   Date: 11/21/14 04:51 Re: IAIS - Location help- Chicago area Author: trainboy03 #2 looks like it's crossing the EJE in Joliet. #1 could be the coach yard in Joliet?
Erik Date: 11/21/14 04:53 Re: IAIS - Location help- Chicago area Author: kevink Looks like the first one is just east of Joliet UD Tower with the Metra RI Coach Yards behind the train. The second shot looks like it's at the EJE crossing east of the first one.
