QUOTE: Originally posted by blhanel Wow, Chris, just... wow. Those will make great wallpaper shots. Heck, I wouldn't mind framing a couple of them for my walls, if they were mine. Speaking of mine, I finally finished uploading my Chicago shots to rrpicturearchives. They're certainly not nearly as pretty as Chris's, but they're interesting railroad shots. Enjoy. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/archivethumbs.aspx?id=7155

QUOTE: Originally posted by blhanel Hey Carl, does I-294 go by the yard where you work? My wife and I spent the weekend in the area around O'Hare, and I managed to get a few minutes of railfanning in by taking a walk down Mannheim from our motel and watch some action in the yard immediately south of the airport. I've got a few pictures, hope to put them up on rrpicturearchives.com tonight. Also drove past a huge yard on the way out of town (Proviso?). Another neat experience- standing in the parking lot of the Rosemont Target and watching the planes come in to O'Hare, couldn't be more than 200 feet above me. Got some more great pictures of that.

QUOTE: Originally posted by cherokee woman I'd posted under the breakfast menu, that lunch today will be ham, potato salad and deviled eggs from last night's supper leftovers. And tonight's supper will be: beef stew w/cornbread, and fried apple pies (half moon shaped pies).
