Railfanning Around Chicagoland 6/29/24 

It was hot and humid, but the trains were cool.
It's another day and that means it's time for more shenanigans around the Chicagoland area and unlike the other two recent visits, this one was pretty successful all things considered. From seeing KCS 2016 work the east end of CPKC's Bensenville Yard to a surprise appearance from CSX's Operation Lifesaver Unit. Despite the heat, it was a pretty good day all things considered, especially for what's to come next. Enjoy!
