Steam in Chicago

This is locomotive 1640 approaching Deval -- where Chicago Northwestern, The Milwaukee Road, and Soo Line all have crossings.

Number 2642, one of Chicago Northwestern's mammoth, modern steam switchers is working in Proviso yard -- one of the largest freight yards in the world.

An ancient "teakettle," number 2151, and a drover's caboose venture out on Chicago Northwestern's "high-iron."

Chicago Northwestern number 2600 hauls a freight through Desplains.
