Viewing Album:  09/27/08: Chicago Ridge, IL (Bottleneck at SW Hwy)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:9/27/2008 - 9/27/2008
Album Info:I spent a couple hours railfanning the IHB near my place of residence after a half day at work on another gorgeous early Fall day. A dead BNSF train was clogging the IHB main just west of the Southwest Highway bridge so trains had to maneuver around it all day by using a crossover just west of Ridgeland Ave. All pics in this album were taken between 2pm and 5pm CST.
