Another one of these.

Today we find ourselves yet again in the Southeastern part of Chicagoland on a rainy and snowy Saturday to see what we could find and we managed to get some good stuff such as a GTW Leader on L521, CF&E 4033 leading FWCH, and a surprise appearance by NS 8103 later in the day. Not a bad lineup. Enjoy!
