I finally snapped a photo of it!This is one of those "RARE" right time/ right place photographs. After many years of passing by and working near a rickety looking IHB industrial spur line on West Armitage Street in Melrose Park Illinois, I finally was there with My camera when the switching local was backing up westbound toward Manheim Road U.S Route # 12 / 45 in northwest suburban Melrose Park Illinois. This is a slow moving train that utilizes a transfer caboose with flagmen due to the many railroad crossings in this industrial district.

I always wondered about that line when I worked out that way in the '90s.
