Another beautiful summer day has come to an end, and once again night is arriving to the village of Bridgeview Illinois. This sunset photograph of a set of railroad block signals, was taken by Me on West 71st street looking North. This bridge, errected by CSX Transportation sometime during the 1990's, is on the Indianna Harbor Belt Railroads mainline. This location is also a busy railroad "Junction", as the Belt Railway of Chicago branches off to the right up ahead, and enters their "Clearing Yard" facility in suburban Bedford Park Illinois USA nearby. a couple of miles north of here, is the Indianna Harbor Belt Railroads "Argo Yard" in the village of Summit Illinois. Even further north a few more miles down, are the interchange junctions of "Argo" in Summit Illinois (Ex G,M&O -ICG ) and Mc Cook Illinois. ( BNSF Ex A,T,& S F). Many times a day or night, northbound trains can be seen waiting here at this location on "Hold" orders, waiting for clearance top proceed.

As a youth in Bridgeview I can remember riding the trains that came through that area. Right on the tracks in your picture. A dangerous thing to do and a dirty way to travel.
Bridgeview, Bridgeview, how I remember you.
I'm impressed with your site, very nice graphics!
