CP Rail Picking Up Empty Tank Car Peerless Confectionery Lakewood at Diversey Chicago September 18 2002
An MP15 in unusual colors is used by the CP crew to retrieve an empty tank car from Peerless Confectionery in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. This operation was a fan favorite with its street running on Lakewood Avenue on what was left of the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston Line which at one time went past Wrigley Field and interchanged freight with the CTA.
In less than five years Iowa Pacific shortline Chicago Terminal would take over operation of the former Milwaukee Road lines on Chicago's North Side.
Peerless went out of business in May of 2007 and the last documented revenue run by Chicago Terminal to Peerless was in February of 2007. Now Chicago Terminal is no more and all of these tracks are abandoned and slowly being swallowed up by new development and rebuilt streets.
