You know you\'re a train nerd when....

The sad part is I also identified it during that one second shot.

Glad you were able to grab the screen shot.

It is surprising that the tracks are still in place and that UP has not sought to formally abandon this line which has zero chance for another rail-served industry to build along it.

Does anyone know what the purpose is of the black tank cars that are often stored farther up this line, closer to Grand Avenue?

They store the tank cars there for the chocolate factory spur usually after the hoppers leave.

Old video of pictures. At the beginning looks like Wrigley building in background.
