The year 2000 was still a time when the effects of the late 1990's mergers were still visible. A visit to the Chicago area provided plenty of trains with a wide variety of post merger power. In this show, videographer J.D. Larson takes us on a tour to several Chicago area hot spots in the year of the new Century.
