Posted by Scott Marsh on February 9, 2008  Nice shot Steve, wondering if the shots still there. Posted by Robert M. Ball on February 9, 2008  Fantastic shot Steve! Brings back great memories. Thanks for sharing. Posted by George W. Hamlin on February 9, 2008  Good choice to include the skyline in this nice vintage shot! Posted by milepost56 on February 9, 2008  Great shot Steve, 1976 seems like only yesterday! Posted by Donald Haskel on February 10, 2008  Nothing ever rocked more than the Rock Island in Chicago. Steve, thanks for this historic capture. Posted by J. C. Smith, Jr. on February 11, 2008  To answer Richard's question, the shot is not still there, as the empty area behind the train is all built up today. There used to be a New York Central Flexi-Van yard located there. But I'd like to also mention that the clock tower, at the base of the red building in the right background, is the head house of the old Dearborn Station (serving ATSF, C&EI, E-L, GTW, Monon and Wabash /N&W), and it is still there.
