Unloading Sugar, Peerless Confectionery Lakewood at Schubert Chicago Spring 2002
Some five years after these photos were taken Peerless Confectionery would close and its buildings torn down to make room for more condos. It was the last rail industry on the former Milwaukee Road C&E Line north of Clybourn after 1984.
Note the derrick like structure over the hopper. It was added in later years over the spur. I am not sure what its function was.
