I've never been a sit at a junction all day and watch what goes by type of guy, almost always preferring to find something interesting and chase it. One exception to that rule was the old Inland Steel pedestrian bridge in East Chicago... I could spend hours on end watching stuff go by here - whether it was mill movements, mainline action on the NS, or even the occasional branch line action on the CN. One such instance is seen here. Somehow, an L512 crew managed to run out of time in South Chicago, and the train had been rescued and taken back east by an evening yard job at sunset. Behind, the ever-present westbound stack train moves swiftly toward Chicago on the old CR.

Driving by it last week revealed that the bridge has since been condemned and sealed off altogether by the state, likely to be demolished in due time.

All just memories now.
