That is sad and unexpected news. At least we have known the Tribune Freedom Center plant will be closing for a long time now.
I hope to get down there for some final photos of UP switching both of them next month.
UP will be happy to be rid of both of them as it is probably a money loser to assign a crew and a train to make the trip all the way from Proviso and back twice a week.
I wonder how much longer Alpha Baking on the Cragin Line will stay open? At least there is less development pressure in that neighborhood vs. River West and the Fulton Market areas.
