Viewing Album:  Crew Check at Van Loon Yard
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:12/26/2011 - 12/26/2011
Album Info:I watched an eastbound Norfolk Southern coal hopper train slow and come to a stop in the former Elgin Joliet and Eastern Van Loon yard just before crossing Colfax Avenue. The conductor made his way from the lead cab to the 2nd cab. After that, the train took off again. Not much to this but still fun to watch and photograph!
