Burlington Northern industrila switching local on South Paulina Avenue. Chicago Illinois. November 1983.

I took this photo one overcast November morning in the year of 1983. Seen here
in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhod on South Paulina Avenue, is the morning Burlington Northern Railroad industrial switching local and crew at work. This industrial branchline railroad was originally owned by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, and after 1970, the Burlington Northern. In later years, this line was sold. Today it is owned and operated by the Central Illinois Railroad.
