Viewing Album:  Toledo Trip (9-1,5-10)
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:9/5/2010 - 9/1/2010
Album Info:On the 31st I embarked on my trip to the CSX in Toledo. I arrived in Chicago late that night, and took off for Ohio after shooting Y128 with a nice set of EMD's in Blue Island. I arrived to Sunshine and Q637-01 with a nice EMD consist. I had great luck nearly everyday, and shot plenty of nice leaders. If you like new power, I wouldn't bother with this album. For those that enjoy what I enjoy, old-school Spartan power, I hope you enjoy this album. Alot of effort was expelled to pick out the best of the best, which meant me shooting less trains but shooting much better ones in the process. Thanks, and enjoy!
