Lakewood 7-10-86 7

            7 of 21: The opening in the fence at right used to be a siding. One month before, all but one of the tracks in this area had been pulled up to prepare for the shopping center construction project.

This set of 21 photos documents a day in the life of the Milwaukee Road's Lakewood Branch switcher making its way through Chicago's North Side on 7-10-86. This part of the city had begun an urban renaissance, transforming most of the remaining industrial sites into new housing. All the construction activity added a number of headaches for the crew that day. The day was also notable for the presence of a  caboose on this part of the trip; the key could not be found to lock it up and leave it near the bridge as was customary, so it came along for the trip.
