Viewing Album:  11/18/08: Chicago Ridge, IL (Intense Mid-Afternoon Action)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:11/18/2008 - 11/18/2008
Album Info:I took the day off to close on a refinance and I had a couple of hours to kill before the appointment. I decided to stay local and hit the Ridgeland Ave grade crossing of the IHB/CSX line just west of the NS/Metra SW Service diamonds. Trains were coming through what seemed like every 10-15 minutes until about 2:30 when the action completely died.#Needless to say, I caught 13 different movements including both rail lines between 12 and 2:30pm CST.
