Southbound Soo Line transfer train traveling over the Belt Railway of Chicago. Cicero Illinois. November 1987.

I took this photo one Sunday afternoon, in November of 1987. A southbound Soo Line transfer train has recieved clearance from the dispatcher, and is now passing underneath the West 31st Street overpass bridge at the border of west suburban Cicero Illinois. The train will soon be passing over the Illinois Central Gulf crosstracks at Hawthorne Junction just a 1/2 mile south of the bridge, and continue southbound to the Belt Railway of Chicago, Clearing Yard in Bedford Park Illinois.
