Viewing Album:  03/02/08: Dolton & Riverdale, IL (More Sunday Intensity)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:3/2/2008 - 3/2/2008
Album Info:After the absolute traffic jam two weeks ago at Dolton, I had to come back again on a Sunday to check out the action and once again I wasn't disappointed. Dollar for dollar, this has to be the busiest junction in the country. The longest break between trains was about 15 minutes and for the three hours I was there it seemed like a train was coming every five to ten minutes. I hit several locations around the crossing, including CSX's Barr Yard, IHB's Blue Island Yard, UP's Yard Center, CP Cottage Grove and 138th Street grade crossing in Riverdale. All pics in this album were taken between 12:30 and 3:30pm CST.
