New York Central ALCO J-3a class 4-6-4 Hudson steam locomotive 5410 leads a city bound heavyweight passenger train past the ERIE 14th Street Freight House in Chicago, Illinois, ca 1940's

New York Central ALCO J-3a class 4-6-4 Hudson steam locomotive 5410 leads a city bound heavyweight passenger train past the ERIE 14th Street Freight House in Chicago, Illinois, ca 1940's. The locomotive is using its booster engine mounted to its trailing truck as you can tell from the booster water vapor exhaust coming from the small stack in front of the main locomotive stack. You can see the engineer in his cab window. This locomotive also has a set of Boxpok drivers installed. This station area may be at Englewood, but I don't really know and perhaps someone can help identify this location.
