This picture depicts the Chicago & North Western making a run out to the Navy Pier area with a delivery for the City of Chicago water filtration plant, probably of chlorine, in the tank car. The boxcars are destined for the Chicago Tribune's loading docks on Illinois Street just east of Michigan Avenue. By 1984 the Tribune relocated its printing press to the new Freedom Center on Chicago River where rail shipments went. This photo dates from between 1968 and 1971 and was taken at twilight.
