Remnants from former railroads show up occasionally in the windy city. I spotted this pre 1982 Southern Railroad covered hopper traveling on a northbound Belt Railway of Chicago transfer train near West Lake Street. The Norfolk & Western and the Southern Railroad merged and became todays Norfolk Southern Railroad in the year of 1982. The best thing of all, was that this car was relatively grafitti free after all of these years as well.Friday, October 19, 2007
