I took this photograph during a recent springtime group photo outing, to the far southeast side of Chicago and neighboring northwest Indiana. A small group of railroad lift bridges on the Calumet River, can be found just south of the East 95th Street drawbridge. Only the bridge to the far right is still in use today, while the other two have long since had their tracks removed. Evidence of a once extremely busy railroad location on the far southeast side of Chicago, dating back to the steam era.
