Milwaukee Road 476 at Clybourn 4-17-86

            Milwaukee Road / Soo Line Lakewood Branch (C&E North Line) switcher at Clybourn, returning with an empty hopper from Peerless Confection. The white bag sitting on the deck of the engine was the conductor's bag of bread from the Hostess Thrift Shop across from Peerless- this got fed to the ducks at the bridge over the Chicago River on Goose Island.

Sheffield Foundry Company was located immediately to the left, explaining the mold boxes stacked up next to the tracks. Note also the two loose strings of welded rail, these were left over from the rebuilding of the street trackage on Kingsbury a few years earlier.

In 2016, the track has been paved over here and this spot is now a parking lot for a Men's Wearhouse store.

Taken on: April 18, 1986
