Final Days of Union Pacific's Chicago Tribune Job

Ironic that the Tribune called it the "Freedom Plant" isn't it? Destroyed our freedoms and now the Freedom Plant is being destroyed by those nihilists. And the modern Tribune had a big hand in everything. Col. McCormick is spinning in his grave seeing what his paper has become: just another Marxist rag rooting for war and destruction.

22 year Tribune employee here. As sad as it is to see Freedom Center go away, it was time for it to happen, casino or not. The circulation declines in the last few decades means we were only utilizing a fraction of that building. And while the Daily Herald plant is a bit smaller than we would have wanted, it's working fairly well. My biggest complaint about the move is the longer commute

Wish I had a nickel for every car I spotted or pulled out of the Tribune! I was the hogger on YNO68 for a couple of years and retired on that job in 2013. Sad to see it go. One industry after another closed down. Now only Alpha Baking is left. North Ave. yard used to be a hopping place with 3 shifts. At its peak I think North Ave. had about 4 daylight jobs, 2 afternoon jobs, and one night job that mainly serviced Proctor & Gamble plant where Home Depot now located. In addition there was a switch run, PRNOA, that brought cars to North Ave. from Proviso. The good old days.

Excellent coverage of this industrial remnant. Metra zips on by where not that many years ago you'd see at least 25 plus box cars waiting to go down there. Excellent drone view of the entire complex and part of that featured in a background scene in Chicago PD. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel printing plant closed down about a year ago and now with the demolition of Froedert Malt the bustling Menomonee Belt is now a rusty streak.

Isn't it ironic that instead of encouraging industry to stay in the city they want them to move and replace them with casinos! Demoncrats! F***ing idiots!

Inner Chicago industrial industry spur jobs like this have slowly been dropping like flies. I remember one Tuesday morning in 2010, I went to see the CIRY Lumber District job run at like 7am. Then I went to go see if the Chicago Terminal Goose Island Job was running. On my way, I caught this job switching the Tribune at Grand Avenue. Then I got to North Avenue Yard, and sure enough, they were warming up the Chicago Terminal Switcher to run to Goose Island. Al,l of these operations are shadows of their former selves, and they were 15 years ago too.

[@uhlijohn]

That is/was the Cragin subdivision. Used to be double track, now it is single track. It ran from 40th St. yard (long gone) up to the Harvard sub. at Mayfair. North of that I believe it was the Skokie sub. and there used to be trains coming down from Wisconsin (Butler yard, I believe) years ago headed for the Belt's Clearing Yard. I think the alpha was BUBRA or B from Butler or something like that. It was dark territory controlled by track warrants. Terminal crews would pick up the train at Mayfair, release the track warrant when hind end cleared and run down to Augusta Blvd. just north of 40th St. to connect with the Belt. All hand-throws controlled by Belt dispatcher. Cragin sub. used to cross the Milwaukee at Cragin interlocking but the Cragin now dead-ends just a wee bit north of Cragin interlocking. Not sure what's south of that but I do recall years ago CNW used to store empty TTX empty flats or 5-packs on a couple of long tracks when Wood St. (Global 1) was stuffed and had no room for any more cars.

As far a railroading being 'fun' for train crews, the disappearance of the caboose was the beginning of the end........ Implementation of new technologies throughout the years such as the loss experienced in the size of train crews arguably was to be expected, and made railroading safer. Yet, now it can be argued that for a variety of reasons, railroading 'Has lost that luvin' feeling' for train crew members, as it's not as safe as it was, or could be, since crew sizes have dwindled to two and in some cases, one man crews. Give me a break. A one man crew is in no way safe. And it certainly doesn't involve fun........
