Chicago Odyssey, Volume 5

Famed rail photographer Emery Gulash once said “to be a railfan in the mid 1950’s in or near Chicago was a double barrel dream”. If that’s the case, being a railfan in the early 1990’s meant capturing all the great railroads of Chicagoland before they were just memories. Dennis Jenko started capturing mainline action around 1990 covering all the flags that were about to fall, including ATSF, BN, CCP, CNW, CR, CSX, EJ&E, IHB, SOO, WC, and others.

Mainline action at many popular locations, including some Emery Gulash Locations, are covered in this last of the Chicago Odyssey series from Dennis. Some locations covered are: Chesterton IN, Genoa ILL, Maple Park ILL, Sandwich ILL, Willow Springs ILL, Itasca ILL, Savanna ILL, Addison ILL, LaFox ILL, Des Plaines ILL, and Joliet ILL.
