Viewing Album:  05/17/08: Franklin Park, IL (Railroad Daze 2008 inc. UP 1982)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:5/17/2008 - 5/17/2008
Album Info:Me and my girlfriend went back to Railroad Daze for the second year in a row and once again it was a gorgeous, sunny Saturday. This yar's lineup included UP 1982, a newer NS Genset, a new CP ES44AC, some passenger cars and much more. BRC was conspicuous in its absense this year while CSX brought #1 (The Spirit of West Virginia) but it was kept separate from the rest of the lashup for some reason. All pics in this album were taken between 12:30 and 2pm CST.
