General Discussion / 1960s photo location?

« on: October 19, 2016, 03:05:18 PM »

Can anyone ID the location of this photo?  I'm thinking the Kennedy, but could be wrong.

General Discussion / Tempel Steel Spur/Rose Hill Yard Remnants

« on: February 16, 2016, 11:09:31 AM »

I was at a Transient Artisan Ales/Aquanaut beer release over the weekend, and shot some quick pictures on my phone of the Tempel Steel spur and Rose Hill Yard remnants on the north side.  It was the best of both worlds: Beer drinking and railfanning!

General Discussion / Caboose at North Ave?

« on: October 26, 2015, 08:51:41 AM »

I was driving north on the Kennedy Saturday morning and saw a bright orange caboose in the yard at North Ave.  I had to keep my eyes on the road because of traffic and didn't get to see the markings.  Anyone know where it was from?

My apologies if this has already been posted.  The 15th or so picture down on this page shows Clark & Addison, complete with a southbound PCC on Clark, and the 3-track MILW crossing.

General Discussion / narrow gauge along the river?

« on: May 27, 2014, 10:30:57 AM »

The first shot on this pages features a shot of the Halstead St. bridge and what looks to be a narrow gauge RR.  Anyone have any information about it?
