A Few Good Railfanning Hours at Franklin Park, IL

Zack, Asa, Mason, and I went to Franklin Park before visiting the UP West Line, as this has always been one of Zack's favorite spots to watch on Railstream. It's always a favorite spot for me too, and we got a fair bit of action during our few hours here. Not the busiest I've seen this place, but we got a nice bonus of a Metra work train with an ECO leading.
