Blocked By Vehicles Returning South-Chicago & Evanston Line-Fullerton Avenue Chicago December 27, 2000
This Soo Line job was delayed returning south on the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston Line by several vehicles on the other side of the engine from this view that were sticking out and not giving enough clearance for the engine. It just dropped off a tank car for Peerless Confection a few blocks to the north.
Prior to the era of cutbacks starting in the early 1970s the C&E Line was double tracked in this area and where there are condos were once rail served coal yards, lumber yards, factories, etc.
