Railroad Crew member.

I took this photo way back around 1984.

A crew member of the former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad I.N branchline local ( Illinois Northern), poses in the cab of Santa Fe rebuilt EMD GP 9 # 1310 between switching movements.

This photo was taken just east of South Kedzie Avenue near West 28th Street, in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood.

Succesor railroad BNSF Railway, recently abandoned the former I.N branchline due to a major lack of online businesses to be switched. During the Santa Fe days, this line was actually switched Monday thru Friday.

Thanks.
Eddie K.
