A short one this time around.
Originally, I wasn't planning on going railfanning today, but when I got word that CSX's Seaboard Air Line Heritage Unit was leading I115 into Chicago and it was still semi clean after getting repaired following an engine failure a while back. I said "screw it" and decided head South to try and snag it. And while I got the 1900 (albeit, almost getting screwed over), I also managed to get one of the BNSF 25th Anniversary Units at La Grange and a CSX MACe duo at Dolton. All in all, pretty good for a short day. Enjoy!
