Viewing Album:  05/09/07: Dolton & Riverdale, IL (inc. a CF&E/IORY sighting)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:5/9/2007 - 5/9/2007
Album Info:I had a day off today and it's been a while since I posted anything on here so I decided to hit one of the busiest rail hot spots in the country, Dolton Crossing. Other locations in this album include Blue Island Yard, Cottage Grove Ave, several grade crossings in Riverdale, and UP's Yard Center in Dolton.
