America's oldest railroad is the Baltimore and Ohio.  Pacific 3509 with the Wheeling local is entering Chicago.  

Chicago is a city of bridges, the one over Chicago River in in the "Loop." Two trains are visible traveling on tracks running parallel to the river. On the left the steel frame for the new Chicago Daily News building, located at 400 West Madison Street, is visible.  To the right is more construction -- Chicago is growing.

Chicago and Eastern Illinois did not own many atlantics -- number 214 takes a breather and posses for a photo.

Locomotive 412, an Indiana Harbor Belt "Mike," posses at a Chicago and Northwestern yard between transfer runs.  The IHB was owned by new Your Central and connected with ALL the Chicago railroads.

Baltic (Hudson on other roads) 6410 is departing Chicago.  This is the sister engine of the MILW locomotive that ran the 85 miles between Chicago and Milwaukee in 67 minutes -- setting a world speed record for steam.
