Something from yesterday.

Yesterday I made my way down to the Dolton area as I had found out that CSX I116 had the railroad's two semiquincentennial units in charge, given that I had missed them the first time they came to Chicago, I wasn't about to miss them again. After that, I stuck around the Dolton/Blue Island area for the rest of the day, even though I didn't see a lot of special things, it was still a good day to be out, despite me feeling a bit under the weather. Enjoy!
