Mystery photo (for me at least)

Hi,

One more thing...

Does anybody know the location of the shot of the CP switcher on page 44 of \"The Milwaukee Road in Chicago?\"  Thanks in advance for your help!

That switcher is on North Cherry Street on Goose Island where it intersects Bliss Street.  The view looks south.  The Pickens-Kane building is in the background on the left.

Thanks for the help.  Was it common for CP to run this far south on Goose Island in 2006?  What would have been the reason?  Thanks again!

The only reason I can think of for pushing a car that far down Cherry Street is that the crew had to clear something and needed it out of the way temporarily.
