Viewing Album:  09/06/06: SW Chicago, IL: (Various Locations inc. Landers Yard, Hayford & Forest Hill)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:9/6/2006 - 9/6/2006
Album Info:My last day of vacation and I decided to hit some local hot spots for a couple hours since the weather was beautiful. Clearing Yard looked like a ghost town on my way to Hayford Crossing. Hayford was slow so I shot over to Forest Hill and promptly got chased out of there by a NS policeman after shooting a BNSF stack train. He asked me what I was doing there and I told him the obvious seeing that my camera was in my hand. He wanted ID and I asked him if there were any "No Trespassing" signs around because I didn't see any. He said it should have been obvious since there were no "residences or businesses in the area." Oh well, he was nice and just doing his job I guess. That was my first run-in with the railroad law.
