Two former Burlington Northern EMD roadswitchers on the south hump at the BNSF Railway's Corwith Yard. Chicago Illinois USA. January 2007.

I took this photo two years ago on a cold but very sunny winter morning, in January of 2007.

I grew up on the southwest side of Chicago, and rest assured...the former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Corwith Yard was always a favorite location that I enjoyed visiting back in the 1980's. I knew about Corwith Yard to some extant for a number of years prior, as I had frequently rode the Chicago Transit Authority Route # 62 Archer / Harlem Avenue bus past it many times.

I actually discovered it more firsthand when I had attended nearby Curie High School from 1977 to 1981. Although I did not own My first 35MM camera until March of 1983, train spotting at the south hump of Corwith Yard was always a favorite activity after school.

This photo was taken looking northeast from the intersection of South Archer Avenue and West 47th Street in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood.
