Viewing Album:  03/17/07: Blue Island, IL (A slower than usual day at the crossing)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:3/17/2007 - 3/17/2007
Album Info:Trains came in spurts today but overall I was disappointed in the frequency of the action today as there were large gaps of time with no trains. A slower than usual day in Blue Island.
