Union Pacific switching local backing on an industrial spur siiding. Chicago Illinois. January 2007.
Union Pacific switching local backing on an industrial spur siiding. Chicago Illinois. January 2007., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I took this photograph on a bitterly cold winter morning, back in January of 2007.
The sky above is crystal clear, but the outside temperature is a bone chilling 5 degrees above zero farenheight with a sharp and stinging windchill factor blowing in out of the west.
It's all business as usual for the Union Pacific Railroad, as the switching local serving the NorthWest Industrial Park in Chicago on North Kilbourn Avenue, is viewed backing down an industrial spur siding, dropping off a freight car for a local industrial firm.
The crew is covered from head to toe, and hopefully there is a thermos of hot coffee waiting in the locomotive cab. Brrrrrrrrr!
Thanks.

Demolition of the Jakter Hotel in Chicago Illinois. February 1983.
Demolition of the Jakter Hotel in Chicago Illinois. February 1983., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I took this now historic southside Chicago photograph, way back in February of 1983.
After many years of being a local skid row transient hotel of questionable repute that once featured a strip club operating in the basement lounge, the decaying local neighborhood eyesore located at the southeast corner of South Kedzie Avenue and West 47th Street known as the Jakter Hotel, is now meeting the wrecking ball.
Soon this local piece of urban blight in Chicago's Elsdon neighborhood, will be replaced by a small outdoor retail strip mall within a few months.
Thanks.

Digital Live Sound Video: A power short Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad uses a borrowed Illinois Central EMD GP 9 on one of their locals. a video by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I photographed this digital live sound video las week, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club in Oak Park Illinois.
Fellow club member and good friend "Rich", has created an occasional everyday "What If" situation on a working railroad.
Although most American railroads pretty much have a large fleet of locomotives available most of the time, those occasional times when several locomotives are out of service being down for repair, or working other assignments on any given railroad, locomotives from other railroads are sometimes leased or borrowed to help fill the demands caused by a shortage or two.
In this video, a power short Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad, has borrowed an Illinois Central EMD GP 9, to help assist working on a switching local on this day.
Thanks.

Even when I am enjoying an outdoor exercise workout session on my inline roller blade skates on chilly 40 degrees + days, it is all too important to stay hydrated.
Here I am enjoying a nice refreshing drink, after skating a few laps around the perimeter of the park. Keep those liquids flowing.
Thanks.

Greenfield Village Railroad. Detroit, Lima & Northern # 7.
I spotted this video on You Tube.
A big event that happened in railfan circles during 2013, was the restoration and return
to service of 1897 Baldwin 4-4-0 steam locomotive # 7, from the Detroit, Lima & Northern
Railroad on the Greenfield Village Railroad, at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan.
This locomotive was once owned by Henry Ford, and was his personal locomotive. Today,
it has been lovingly restored both mechanically and cosmetically to it's original appearance.

There is nothing like recreating a lost scene from the 1970's era in H.O scale.
I grew up on the near southwest side of Chicago during this time, and I fondly remember the now fallen flag Illinois Central Gulf Railroad as it was back then.
This railroad was created from the August 10th, 1972 merger of the Illinois Central, and the former Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroads. Although the Illinois Central had the obvious controlling interest in the whole thing, as new paint jobs found locomotives painted in the I.C's orange and white color scheme with Illinois Central Gulf markings and the I.C split rail 1967 logo, and cars were painted in a solid I.C orange color scheme with ICG markings and also the split rail logo.
However...several former G,M & O locomotives and cars rolled around for several years in original 1960's era and earlier factory paint schemes in to the mid to late 1980's.
My train seen here, represents a mid 1970's era ICG train with a former and yet unrepainted G,M & O EMD GP 38-2 roadswitcher in late 1960's era colors up front.
That 70's Railroad indeed.
Thanks.

A southbound Chicago Transit Authority yellow line train / aka "Skokie Swift", speeds past the Oakton Street railroad crossing in downtown north suburban Skokie Illinois at dusk, and sends
a few sparks to light up the scene.
Notice that the Oakton Street station did not exist back then. Today all CTA yellow line trains now stop here at this location.

The Moody Blues. Tuesday Afternoon. 1969.
I spotted this vintage late 1960's era music video on You Tube.
I was born in the year of 1962, and I had grown up listening to many of the classic rock,
soul, blues, country, top 40, and jazz artists of the day back then.
One of my personal favorites, was a Brittish rock and roll music group band known as
"The Moody Blues". This particular song entitled "Tuesday Afternoon", was one of the most
imaginative, spooky, eerie and quite haunting melodies I remember hearing way back when.
It was definitely very original, and bound to set you on some sort of daydream mood.
Thanks.

Hi everyone!
This is Eddie K, your host and photographer here at Eddie's Railfan Page.
Aside from my interests in trains, transportation subjects and photography...I am also a bit of an avid fan of outdoor inline roller blade skating when ever I have the opportunity to do so.
It has been quite chilly here in the greater Chicagoland area for the last two weeks, with daytime temperatures in the mid to upper 40's
with plenty of overcast or hazy sunshine typical of the autum season.
Luckilly, my pull over warm up jacket has a hood, that can be easily tucked inside my safety helmet, and double as ear protection from the sometimes cold winds that blow through when I am skating outdoors.
Thanks.

For those people who grew up in the city of Chicago Illinois like myself and a few others out there...Pizza has got to be one of the top number one comfort foods people just crave.
One of my favorite pizza places on the northwest side of Chicago, is Dino's Pizza located at the northwest corner of West Higgins and North Nordica Avenues.
If you are ever on the north or northwest side of Chicago for a visit, You should treet yourself to some of their pizza or other traditional Italian entrees.
Thanks.

Expos'e. Point of no return.
During the 1980's, I was a big fan of mainstream popular music.
One of my favorite music videos I enjoyed viewing, was this one by a girl vocal group
known as" Expos'e' This hit song from 1987 entitled "Point of no return", was a Techno
Dance Club hit song that I enjoyed skating to during the all skate session at the roller rinks.

A fun seasonal autum activity I have come to enjoy in recent past years with my wife's family members, were Octoer visits to Goebert's Farm Stan on Route # 72 / Higgins Road in Barrington Illinois.
Every year, Goebert's celebrates Halloween and the colorful autum harvest season, with several fun family activities and attractions on their property, the place becomes known during this time as "Goebert's Pumpkin Farm."
Some of the added attractions include a tractor pulled hayride, a haunted house, a gift shop, a petting zoo, and of course the Pumpkin Farm patch where you select your own pumpkin for purchase.

Bachman Spectrum PRR K 4.
I spotted this video on You Tube.
Seen here is an H.O Scale model of a Bachman Spectrum Series Pennsylvania Railroad
K 4 Class 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotive pulling a vintage PRR 1920's era passenger
train.
I believe that the Pennsylvania Railroad actually used non swinging solonoid operated bells
on their steam locomotives. I believe that this particular steam whistle, was one that the
PRR used on freight service steam locomotives. They were sometimes interchanged during
locomotive servicings.
Thanks.

This photograph was taken of me last week during my morning lunch break, in northwest suburban Des Plaines Illinois.
Although Chicago's weather has quickly changed from beautiful 70 degrees + temperatures and sunshine, to cloudy cold and somewhat dismal November like weather...believe me, It's going to take a lot more than that to stop me from enjoying my lunchtime exercise workouts on inline roller blade skates.
After driving for about 4 hours or so on the morning split run as a paratransit driver..roller blading a few laps or so around the park helps me to feel refreshed. Exercising outdoors especially in this chilly weather can be quite fun.
Thanks.
