After work railfan activities. May 2006.

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Eddie's Railfan Page. In todays installment, we will be visiting southwest suburban Hodgkins Illinois USA in the greater Chicagoland area. Chicago Illinois USA is the railroad capital of America. While there is plenty of railroad activity within the metropolitan Chicago area, those inbound and outbound trains have to pass through Chicago's many suburban communities to get where they are going. An active suburban village with plenty of activity for railfan photographers, is nearby Hodgkins Illinois located in the near southwest suburbs. This community has the former Santa Fe railroad mainline and yard facilities inside of it, as well as a large industrial park on East Avenue, and a large railroad Intermodal yard in nearby Willow Springs Illinois. A beautiful May afternoon was spent after My workday was over, photographing the BNSF Railway in Hodgkins Illinois.
