Looking for a simple and yet prototypically correct modeling project for Your model train layout? How about this one on West Cermak Rd in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood?This is the very "Modest" engine storage and maintenance facility for the shortline operator DRS Rail Services located at West Cermak Road / 22nd street and Canalport Street in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. Unfortunately, the locomotive to the right is heavilly grafitti tagged on it's sides. A victim of the ugly side of urban railroading. Prior to the 1995 A,T&S,F / BN merger, this was a Burlington Northern Railroad industrial switching line. DRS owns it today, and the various factories and industries are switched as needed. A sign of the times.
