Railfanning Around Chicagoland 6/19/24 

A shorter outing, cause of the heat.
I had plans to go out earlier in the day for a day of railfanning around the Chicagoland area but woke up a bit late and because of the heat, I didn't want to stay out too long. But when I got ready for the day, I had gotten wind that CPKC 149 had CP's Navy Unit in the lead, so I went to Rondout to snag that before continuing on with my day. I made stops in Dolton, Hodgkins, and Franklin Park, not much showed but overall, it was still a decent day. Enjoy!
