Viewing Album:  Chicago Trip (16th-17th)
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:10/17/2009 - 10/17/2009
Album Info:My last hurrah for Chicago of the year looked to be a wash on the weather forecast, but upon arriving It showed potential. A cloudy and short Friday saw two C40-8's as leaders, one of which was the 7587, complete in its Stealth attire albeit with yellow ends. Moving onto a beautiful Saturday with plenty of sun to go around, and another nice set of leaders to round out the trip. Short but productive, enjoy the shots and leave comments!

Oh Yeah
Title:  Oh Yeah
Description:  As I saw this guy taking the connector over to Yard Center, I booked it over to the other end of the junction to try to fire off a few shots of it leading. This is what I got, not too bad, but I wish I had more time to set up.
