Hump yard switching activity at the BNSF Railway Corwith Yard. Chicago Illinois USA. January 2007.

I took this photo on a brightly sunlit and bitterly cold January day in 2007. Seen here at the intersection of West 47th Street and South Archer Avenue in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood, are three BNSF Railway locomotives backing a cut of intermodal container cars down the south hump at Chicago's Corwith Yard. The badly deteriorated concrete underpass bridge has sections of concrete missing from many years of trucks hitting or getting stuck under it. Although the streets were lowered under it during the early 1990's, this bridge is begining to look like a serious safety issue for pedestrians and motorist alike. It may be time for a new bridge at this very busy intersection on Chicago's southwest side. It is important soon.
