Viewing Album:  Argonne Local
 
By:Mike W.
Dates:1/11/2006 - 1/11/2006
Album Info:Got out of school early because its exam week. Decided I'd try to chase the Argonne switch job which runs up the ex-ATSF Argonne siding(or branch). It seperates from the mainline near Argonne Natl. Lab, climbs up a nice little grade, then rhrough Woodridge and into Romeoville.
