Northbound transfer train on the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad line. La Grange Illinois USA. January 1987.

Northbound transfer train on the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad trackage. La Grange Illinois. January 1987.

One of My all time favorite Chicago area railfan photo haunts I frequently enjoyed visiting during the 1980's, was the west suburban villahe of La Grange Illinois.

I took this photo during a January 1987 visit. We are facing east just below the Burlington Northern flyover bridge over the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad line, at a location known as Congress Park. A northbound transfer freight train with EMD locomotives from railroads Grand Trunk Western and the Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad, pass through town.
