Franklin Park Railroad Daze 2007

Anyone have any information on the event for this year yet?

UP 1995 is making a confirmed appearance on Saturday; don't know if Metra plans to send any equipment there or not...

Do you know the dates please?

Today, May 18, and tomorrow, May 19.

METX411, METX8587, and UP1995 were all present

It was a little better than last year. Less kids for sure which was nice. Same amount of seat loafers though which is never nice. No way around that I suppose.

UP's A-B-A E9s were there also. Here is a photo. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=187785. Nice to see Metra 411 after it was nearly totalled a few years ago.

All three Es and the 1995 were on the point of a freight sitting in the yard this morning (05/21/2007). They were facing east with 1995 leading.
