Viewing Album:  Great Lakes Central St. Charles Branch - 2011
 
By:Kyle Korienek
Dates:6/28/2011 - 11/1/2012
Album Info:Over this summer and fall, I am going to document as many of the movements up and down the Great Lakes Central's St. Charles branch as I can. The branch is served only as needed and traffic is dictated by the grain elevators along the line, this leads to an irregular traffic schedule. I will be adding throughout the summer and fall to catch all of these movements.
