A westbound Belt Railway of Chicago transfer train passing underneath the South Kedzie Avenue overpass bridge / aka "Nabisco Hill." Chicago Illinois. August 1987.

 

I took this photograph on a hot summer afternoon, way back in

August of 1987 on the southwest side of Chicago.

 

We are facing east from on top of the South Kedzie Avenue overpass

bridge adjacent to the huge Nabisco factory at approximately West

75th Street. A short red Belt Railway of Chicago steam era transfer -

caboose, brings up the rear of a slow moving BRC transfer train at the

border of Chicago's Wrightwood and Ashburn neighborhoods.
