I took this photo on a recent lunchtime visit to the Metra / Hanson Park commuter flagstop depot adjacent to the North Central Avenue overpass bridge in Chicago.
Adjacent to the depot, is a set of bypass tracks used for freight trains entering and departing from the Belt Railway of Chicago interchange at nearby Cragin Junction.
This relatively "New" looking 50 foot Waffle Sided Hi Cube box car, has tiny NS markings indicating that this boscar belongs to the Norfollk Southern Railroad. Many railroads in recent years, have made cost effective cutbacks, by using smaller roadname reporting marks like this, leaving the cars looking very plain.
