I took this photo while I was out enjoying a pleasant Sunday afternoon bicycle ride, way back in May of 1990. (Has it been twenty years already?)
Seen here is a southbound Indiana Harbor Belt transfer freight train, being pulled by rebuilt early 1950's era EMD model NW 2 yard switchers. The train is viewed approaching the junction with the Norfolk Southern and Metra at Chicago Ridge Tower.
Chicago Ridge Tower was closed in 1993, and after a few suspicious arson fires...was demolished in the year of 1995.
