Viewing Album:  A trip to Illinois December 1970
 
By:Gil Ford
Dates:12/27/1970 - 12/31/1970
Album Info:Two friends and I took a trip from Boston,MA to the Chicago area the week after Christmas every year 1968 to 1972. We went to Hammond,IN in 1969 and at State Line Tower we were befriended by tower operator/railfan Richard Grobner; so every trip we would spend a day with him at the tower; and also explore other Chicago spots that we could access by public transportation. These are the better results from this trip.
