Hi everyone!
welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page.
Well folks.....The sun is setting now on another great year of railfan photography.
2008 had some nice photos in My archives, and 2009 hopes to have even more very soon.

I took this unique winter sunset photo, in Febuary of 2007 during that infamous Chicago Deep Freeze. It was 8 degrees above zero with sharp winds blowing out of the west, when I took this photo at the Chicago city limits. Another winter day is coming to an end, as an eastbound Canadian National 2 car switching local led by a former Grand Trunk Western EMD roadswitcher, crosses over the Belt Railway of Chicago crosstracks at Hawthorne Junction. The train is heading for the nearby CN ex Illinois Central, Crawford Yard with two tank cars in tow.
