Viewing Album:  04/06/08: Blue Island, IL
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:4/6/2008 - 4/6/2008
Album Info:The Blackhawks were eliminated from the NHL playoffs a couple days ago so instead of watching the game on NBC against Detroit, I decided to hit Blue Island for the first time in over two months. The IHB had most of the action for once, as the CSX line was much slower than usual, although a couple of trains did transfer off the IHB to the CSX to Barr Yard. Another awesome early spring day didn't ruin the mood either. All pics in this album were taken between 12:30pm and 3pm CST.
