Chicago Terminal Action 12/21
« on: December 21, 2010, 09:44:01 PM »
I noticed today that Sipi Metals had one of Chicago Terminal\'s gondolas labeled for AOK on their spur with a tarp over the top.

The Chicago Terminal crew pulled an empty gondola from alongside General Iron Industries back across the Chicago River, placing it on the siding in the old Mill Yard (near the Metra tracks and parallel to Sipi Metals).

The crew then was busy clearing the switch points of snow where the Bloomingdale Line joined the Mill Yard tracks, with a boxcar being shoved ahead of the locomotive.  It was paused just east of the switch and west of the river.  I assume it was for Big Bay Lumber.

Late last week they had two cars on the spur for a few days. Saw them empty and then later with tarps over them.  They were gone by Tuesday morning and then the other one appeared.
