Description
8/11/89: View east toward Chicago of Cicero Yard on a hazy Chicago day. The Chessie transfer is entering at the very east part of the yard under Laramie Bridge. There are two types of BN TOFC pigs on spine cars, and you can see all the factories that still surrounded the east end of the yard at Cicero Avenue (now Sam's Club, Menard's, etc)Related content

I really miss seeing piggybacks like that, becoming a thing of the past.

That looks like a Chessie locomotive in the distance.

That's because it is! A CSX transfer with Chessie power is entering the yard...here are the two other shots:

Love the cut on the left. Taking "COFC" very, very literally. I've never seen short boxes on a piggyback flat. Also, pretty cool to see trailers with the name of the railroad on them!

Thanks man! I remember those and did get some shots of "COFC" before the doublestacker revolution! Trailers with railroad names, man I miss those!
