Enjoying last light on mild February day on Goose Island
Author: robj

Chicago Terminal pulling Big Bay Lumber N. Cherry Street. on 2/27/2007.  Last remnant of Milwaukee Road industrial near north Chicago.


1972 I had call for Division Stree yard(Goose Island).  Don't remember too much.  Industrial sidings, get cars ready for evening transfer. Couple of drops.  Kept moving.  No lunch, big quit.

Also did a transfer from Bensenville.  Nice evening trip into the city, drop cars and do a pickup and run back.

Oh man, I’ve been that guy on the footstep more times than I can remember during my career. Cool scene!
