I took this photo one afternoon, in Febuary of 2007. I arrived on the scene to late to see what particular railroad company locomotives were on the head end, however this is an example of the many transfer trains that travel daily over the Belt Railway of Chicago on their north and south trunk line. This line operates between Cragin Junction at Grand and Cicero Avenues on Chicago's northside, to West 70th Street and South Kostner Avenue near Chicago's Midway Airport at the north entrance and interchange to Clearing Yard. This flyover junction and interchange passes over the Union Pacific ex Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad "West Line" at North Kenton Avenue and West Kinzie Street. There are several other junctions and interchanges on the southside enroute to Clearing Yard. This is a very busy Chicagoland railroad.Friday, February 22, 2008
