Those railfans and their cameras. Franklin Park IL. Aug 1st, 2009.

I photographed this digital live sound video on Saturday, August 1st 2009, in northwest suburban Franklin Park Illinois.

Several railfans with their cameras in hand are in town, to photograph visiting 1941 built Southern Pacific GS=4 Daylight steam locomotive # 4449 on display adjacent to preserved historic Tower B -12.

The Canadian Pacific ex Milwaukee Road mainline was getting pretty busy with rail traffic. Seen here, are several of My fellow Chicago area railfans doing what most of us train buffs do best...."Take Pictures". An eastbound Iowa, Chicago & Eastern freight train temporarilly steals the spotlight from SP # 4449 steaming nearby.
