Nerska, Brighton Park, And Englewood Crossings In Chicago, IL. 12-1-09.

Beautiful. I grew up on 47th and Western. My refuge was the 49th street tracks, before the stupid EL came. On a clear day just east of the Western Ave. viaduct you could see the spires of the Russian Orthodox Church, and when it was really clear you could see the Lake. To me this was the only frontier a city boy could feel. I walked the Western tracks one down to the stately Beverly Hills area to Longwood Drive. It was a heavy walk.

Ya know what's a great crossing. Western avenue on the BNSF Racetrack in Pilsen. Small general freight yard. U.P. intermodal yard seen from the platform. Lots of trains from BNSF, U.P., and I think NS uses the north/south track also. .

Cool video! Be careful out at Brighton Park- The BNSF Special Agents told me to leave... Even tho it's CSXT/ BNSF and CN. He was very rude. But cool video!Nice shot of the NS with the older power trailing... Rich
