Rails Chicago Classics #5- SW Side Various Locations (1992-93)

I recently figured out that I still had about 90 minutes of older footage that I hadn't uploaded to YouTube yet. I put up a 30 minute video yesterday and here is another hour of early 90's railfanning goodness.

The first few trains in this video at Argo were on one of my previous classic videos but I didn't feel like going back and re-editing.

As always, please excuse the camera shake and poor framing. I was 16-17 when these videos were taken and I sucked with the camcorder. Plus the thing weighed like 25lbs.
