Downtown Freight at Last Light
Having just finished switching the upper level of the Blommer Chocolate plant, UP 815 (an ex-MoPac GP38-2) wheels around the curve at Noble Street, Chicago, with a pretty respectable consist in tow. This job, along with the one serving the Tribune and lower level of Blommer, is the nearest freight operation to downtown Chicago these days, coming very close to Ogilvie Transportation Center / North Western Station. It originates at Proviso Yard and serves what few industries exist between there and the downtown area, before tying up in the California Avenue coach yard just west of Tower A-2.
