Westbound Belt Railway of Chicago freight train. August 1987.

A hot day in August of 1987 finds us on top of the Kedzie Avenue overpass bridge on Chicago's Southwest Side. I was waiting for a Northbound route #52A south Kedzie Avenue bus at the time. I was lucky that a westbound Belt Railway of Chicago freight train, was passing underneath the bridge at the time. The Belt Railway of Chicago was still using these small "Steam Era" Cabooses at this point in time. Many of them were eventually retired and "Scrapped". One survived and is on display at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union Illinois. This photograph was taken at 73rd street (approximately) and Kedzie Avenue, across the street from the large "Nabisco" factory. This bridge was nicknamed "Nabisco Hill".
