Viewing Album:  08/19/08: Bridgeview & Bedford Park, IL (inc. a wrecked ex-CNW Operation Lifesaver Unit)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:8/19/2008 - 8/19/2008
Album Info:We're going to the Masters of Metal concert tonight (Judas Priest/Heaven & Hell/Motorhead/Testament) so I took the day off and did some local railfanning. Interesting sights today included the daily Wisconsin & Southern train into BRC's Clearing Yard and an ex-CNW unit that looks like it either hit a low bridge or melted. Locations in this album include the west end of Clearing, BRC's 63rd Street grade crossing in Chicago, IHB's 71st Street grade crossing in Bridgeview and a quick stop at IHB's Argo Yard. All pics in this album were taken between 10:30am and 1:30pm.
