CP Rail Approaching Clybourn Avenue by Lakewood Chicago March 2006

I was lucky to catch this CP job taking a load of sugar up to Peerless Confectionery on a grey day in March of 2006. Within nine months shortline Chicago Terminal would take over operations on the former Milwaukee Road North Side lines then in a little over a year Peerless would be out of business.

 

This view shows the CP train working its way north on the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line which by this time was reduced to a long spur to reach Peerless.
