Westbound Belt Railway of Chicago transfer train approaching the South Kedzie Avenue overpass bridge. Chicago Illinois USA. August 1987.

Westbound Belt Railway of Chicago transfer train approaching the South Kedzie Avenue overpass bridge. Chicago Ilinois. August 1987.

I took this photo on a hot summer afternoon, way back in August of 1987.
We are on top of the South Kedzie Avenue overpass bridge, just across from the large Nabisco factory at approximately west 75th Street. We are looking down from the east side of the South Kedzie Avenue overpass bridge, as a westbound Belt Railway of Chicago transfer freight train heads to Clearing Yard. Notice the lead unit in the 1976 American Bi Centenial paint scheme honoring America's 200th Birthday as a Nation.
