The Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad's Illinois Northern branchline switching local. Chicago Illinois. March 1986., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I took this photograph in my old neighborhood I had grown up in, way back in March of 1986.
The former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad had served the industries in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood Monday through Friday, along the approximately 6 mile I.N or Illinois Northern branchline.
The Santa Fe I.N's local rebuilt EMD GP 7 roadswitcher, is photographed at the local Stewart Oil Company spur just east of South Kedzie Avenue near West 28th Street.
The I.N branchline has been abandoned by the succesor railroad BNSF today, due to hard economic times and a major lack of online traffic.
Thanks.
Eddie K.
