Title: Bloomer switching in movie "Blink" 1994
Post by: haggar on November 27, 2023, 08:37:07 PM

While reseaching Chicago scenes in movies I came upon this from 1994's "Blink".

I saw this movie a long time ago but don't remember this scene.
 Filmed at Aberdeen and Hubbard.

Great catch. I never even heard of that movie.

It's almost as if they timed that shot on purpose to have the two trains go by.

Must have been a hot delivery if C&NW made a special run to drop off a single car to Bloomer.

Sorry about typo.  We all know it's Blommer not Bloomer.
