Not sure, there is not even a credit given to the photographer.

Good catch.  My guess is that the bridge in the background is Clark Street, and the train is where Quaker Oats is located nowadays.  I like the spur that veers off on a sharp curve from left to right!  The photographer was probably on the Wabash Avenue bridge.

That spur is visible in one of the track diagrams.  Very cool.
