The amazing thing about this shot is that this is taken right next to Canal Street. This train is about to enter Union Station, Chicago.

looks more like E8's

Nice blast from the past.
|
Actually its a EMD E9(A). My bad.
|
And how much of this shot is left today?
|
Not much is left. The Cassidy Tire, and one of the Rail Bascule bridge, though it's permanently raised.
Here's a shot, from this site, that's taken from the same place. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=199465&nseq=780
