Southbound Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad transfer train. Chicago Ridge Illinois. May 1990., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I took this photograph way back in May of 1990.
A southbound Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad transfer freight train being led by a couple of then standard rebuilt IHB EMD model NW 2 yard switchers, approaches the Norfolk Southern / Metra crosstracks at Chicago Ridge Tower.
Chicago Ridge Tower, was located near 103rd Street just east of South Ridgeland Avenue in southwest suburban Chicago Ridge Illinois. The tower was closed in 1993, and eventually demolished by 1995 after a few arson fires were set in the abandoned structure.
