This is the south hump of the former Santa Fe Corwith Yard on Chicago's southwest side. We are looking east on south Archer Avenue at the intersection of west 47Th Street in the Brighton Park neighborhood community. This old concrete viaduct is showing years of heavy use -errosion -missing concrete from years of being hit by tall semi trailers -and a floor that was lowered sometime during the early 1990's to accomodate them more easily. The EMD roadswitcher coupled immediately to the double stack container cars is in the pre 1995 A,T&S,F blue and yellow "Yellowbonnet" color scheme, while the unit ahead of it is in one of the later and more recent BNSF color schemes seen daily here.
