Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Explore Northeastern Illinois, and we'd love to have this added to the group! Feel free to add other photos that explore northeastern Illinois. Along the way, check out who we are and what we do at cmap.illinois.gov and www.goto2040.org.

Class H were 4-8-4 "Northern" locomotives used in both freight and passenger service. They were delivered in 1929 and rebuilt in 1940, and were apparently some of the largest Northerns ever built. (from www.steamlocomotive.com/northern/cnw.shtml)

If I'm not mistaken, we are looking southwest, and the road on the other ide is Green Street. The bridge over Green Street is the Chicago & Northwestern New Line that now runs along the western edge of O'Hare Field.

I must disagree with Ree Kavok (sorry) as the shadows look to be behind the cars which means the sun is to the right of and behind the camera. Given that, this shot looks towards the northeast and would have been taken mid-day. Today's O'Hare would be in the distance extending to the left of the shot. but I could be wrong.
