Viewing Album:  08/11/07: Elmhurst & Hinsdale, IL (1st Anniversary of My Return to Railfanning)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:8/11/2007 - 8/11/2007
Album Info:It's been a year since I got back into railroad photography so I decided to head to one of my favorite spots, Elmhurst. It was busy for about an hour and half and the action died after 1:30pm so I pulled up stakes and headed over to the BNSF Racetrack through Hinsdale where things picked up.
