The Santa Fe's former Illinois Northern branchline local. June 1984. Chicago Illinois USA.
I took this photograph while I was still living in My old neighborhood I had grown up in. We are on Chicago's near southwest side, at West 28th Street near South Kedzie Avenue in the Little Village Neighborhood. The Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad served this slow speed 6 mile industrial branch line 5 days a week. This rail line is operated by DRS Rail Services in 2006,and the line itself has been cut back to Spaulding Avenue just north of west 31st Street. It's almost abandoned.
