This was the scene as we motored out of Tribune Bay at the end of a day of fun.
UP 815 lifts what would be one of the final empty boxcars from the Chicago Tribune printing plant adjacent to the former Grand Avenue yard in downtown Chicago. The Tribune closed its doors a few weeks after this was taken in favor of printing outside of the city, together with the Daily Herald and Sun-Times under the umbrella of Paddock Publications in Schaumburg, IL. At the same time, Blommer Chocolate also permanently closed its plant here in downtown Chicago, receiving its last tank car shortly after this was taken to send out the plant's remaining cocoa butter to the company's other plant in East Greenville, Pa. Thus, in a matter of weeks, all rail service into the heart of Chicago came to an end as the last two remaining customers shuttered their plants almost simultaneously.
Blommer and the Tribune had been the last customers on the former C&NW line to Grand Avenue yard, now only a run around track, for the last 23 years. Up until 2001, the Navy Pier line emerged here, continuing further east into downtown in the streets and underneath high-rises to serve the Sun-Times, and up until the very early 1980s, to serve Navy Pier and the Tribune Tower - which relocated into the plant pictured at that time. In the decades prior, the line served many more industries in downtown, including notably the Curtiss Candy Company, famous for their Baby Ruth and Butterfinger candy bars, which moved out of the city in 1970.
In this scene, the C&NW caboose was brought along as a shoving platform to reach Alpha Baking and to spot the hopper loaded with flour on the left later in the afternoon. Located northwest of downtown, Alpha is now the last customer traditionally handled by this job. In the background to the right, part of the former Montgomery Ward building can be seen across the river, on whose doorstep the Milwaukee Road once ran down the street on the Kingsbury branch to reach a variety of industrial customers, Wallace Press being the last of which to see service this far South of that branch up until 1990. Goose Island is immediately behind (north of) the Tribune plant, where the Milwaukee Road and later Chicago Terminal served customers like AKZO Salt and Big Bay Lumber as late as 2015. The UP used to interchange cars to the Chicago Terminal from North Avenue yard just up the line, where Morton Salt also still received cars until the end of 2015.
Now everything has come to a close - the Chicago Tribune plant here has since been almost entirely demolished, and the iconic 1939-built Blommer Chocolate factory building is sitting idle and awaiting an uncertain fate. All the rails here haven't seen movement in months with all customers now gone, and will likely be removed as this area gets turned into an entertainment spot - the site of the Chicago Tribune is getting turned into a casino...

UP YPR60B pulls a single car from the Chicago Tribune's Freedom Center in its final months of printing operations. It will now attach back to its train on the left, a single covered hopper for Alpha, and run around before heading up to the northwest side.
YNO68 pulls two empty boxes from the Chicago Tribune in Chicago, IL. The tribune received 10 cars or so at a time three days a week just four years ago; these two cars were all that came in and out of the warehouse this week.
Long exposure using iPhone 7. This feature is part of the new iOS 11. Pretty sweet! I'm seeing a little noise in the shot, but overall pretty good. Just a little edit on this on the phone itself.
Eglise Notre-Dame à Vitré (Ille-et-Vilaine)
La chaire (du latin cathedra, le siège) est à l'origine le siège d'un évêque dans son église (maintenant désigné sous le terme de cathèdre).
En tant que meuble, au Moyen Âge (XIIIe siècle) ce terme désigne un siège en bois à haut dossier et aux accotoirs pleins réservé au maître de maison. Elle est sans dais jusqu'au XVe siècle.
La chaire a symbolisé la fonction d'autorité et d'enseignement de l'évêque, ce qui a conduit à deux sens dérivés :
- en architecture, la chaire désigne également la tribune du prédicateur dans une église ;
-le terme désigne le poste d'un professeur responsable de l'enseignement d'une matière dans l'enseignement universitaire.
Jusqu'au XVIIe siècle, on utilisait indifféremment les mots « chaire » ou « chaise », la distinction entre les deux termes n'étant pas définitivement fixée à cette époque1. Il semblerait que le langage précieux de cette époque refusait les consonnes « dures », considérées comme trop vulgaires.
Church Notre-Dame at Vitré (Ille-et-Vilaine) France :
Pulpit is a speakers' stand in a church. In many Christian churches, there are two speakers' stands at the front of the church. Typically, the one on the left (as viewed by the congregation) is called the pulpit. Since the Gospel lesson is often read from the pulpit, the pulpit side of the church is sometimes called the gospel side.
The other speaker's stand, usually on the right (as viewed by the congregation), is known as the lectern. The word lectern comes from the Latin word "lectus", past participle of legere, meaning "to read", because the lectern primarily functions as a reading stand. It is typically used by lay people to read the scripture lessons (except for the Gospel lesson), to lead the congregation in prayer, and to make announcements. Because the epistle lesson is usually read from the lectern, the lectern side of the church is sometimes called the epistle side. In other churches, the lectern, from which the Epistle is read, is located to the congregation's left and the pulpit, from which the sermon is delivered, is located on the right (the Gospel being read from either the center of the chancel or in front of the altar).
Today's post is a third shot of the same composition from the corner of the rooftop at Tribune Tower. I took this same shot with three different lighting conditions: Daytime, Blue Hour, and now night. The photographer in me prefers the blue hour shot since it is such a small window of time where the lighting is most unique, but the Chicagoan in me can't help but prefer the below nighttime version, as I believe it is the truest representation of the city (and I mean that in a good way).

UP YPR60B backs onto the Tribune lead to pull one boxcar out of the Freedom Center. The private crossing on site is still protected by a couple of old-school flashers including an active mechanical bell. Signs of life at the Freedom Center are starting to wane as the plant enters its final months of printing operations.

June 20, 1862
These are all antiques. The paper is the June 20, 1862 edition of the New York Tribune. If you can zoom in on the upper right corner, you can see an article entitled "Occupation of Cumberland Gap."
South tribune of St Pancras New Church. Modelled on the Erechtheum, a temple on the Acropolis in Athens, with four caryatids.
The church was designed in a Greek revival style by father-and-son architects William and Henry Inwood, and was consecrated in 1822.
En 1922 el Chicago Tribune organizó una competición internacional de diseño para su nueva sede, y ofreció $100 000 en premios con un primer premio de $50 000 para "el edificio de oficinas más bonito e inconfundible del mundo". La competición funcionó brillantemente como una maniobra publicitaria durante meses, y las propuestas recibidas suponen un punto de inflexión en la historia de la arquitectura americana. Se recibieron más de 260 propuestas. El ganador fue el diseño neogótico de los arquitectos neoyorquinos John Mead Howells y Raymond Hood, con arbotantes cerca de la cima.
In 1922 the Chicago Tribune hosted an international interior and exterior design competition for its new headquarters, and offered $100,000 in prize money with a $50,000 1st prize for "the most beautiful and distinctive office building in the world". The competition worked brilliantly for months as a publicity stunt, and the resulting entries still reveal a unique turning point in American architectural history. More than 260 entries were received.
The winner was a neo-Gothic design by New York architects John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood, with buttresses near the top.
Editions Of You / sin edición valga la aclaración.
Well I'm here looking through an old picture frame
Just waiting for the perfect view
I hope something special will step in to my life
Another fine edition of you
A pin-up done in shades of blue
Sometimes you find a yearning for the quiet life
The country air and all its joys
But badgers couldn't compensate at twice the price
For just another night with the boys oh yeah
And boys will be boys, will be boys
They say love's a gamble, hard to win, easy lose
And while sun shines you'd better make hay
So if life is your table and fate is the wheel
Then let the chips fall where they may
In modern times the modern way
And as I was drifting past the Lorelei
I heard those slinky sirens wail - whooo
So look out sailor when you hear them croon
You'll never been the same again oh no
Their crazy music drives you insane - this way
So love, leave me. do what you will
-Who knows what tomorrow might bring?
Learn from your mistakes is my only advice
And stay cool is still the main rule
Don't play yourself for a fool
Too much cheesecake too soon
Old money's better than new
No mention in the latest Tribune
And don't let this happen to you
