Eastbound Santa Fe intermodal train at Nerska Junction. May 1990.

A warm Saturday afternoon in May of 1990, finds an eastbound Santa Fe intermodal -TOFC
"Trailer on flat car" freight train speeding across the Belt Railway of Chicago crosstracks. Trains that haul truck trailers for many years were referred to as a "Piggy back" operation. Nerska Junction is on private property on a service road. It is located approximately 4-to 5 blocks east of Cicero Avenue, along the northside embankment of the I-55 Stevenson Expressway at 41 St Street.
