Definitely Bellwood

Seeing this photo was a pleasant surprise -- I grew up in Bellwood and my dad worked for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad, so we were well acquainted with the Bellwood station. Thanks, KingTalkyTiki, for confirming my identification of that photo. I remember those old wooden steps up to Mannheim Bridge! I'm including a photo taken in 1954 looking north toward the station and bridge. I've loved seeing Jack Delano's photos from Proviso Yards on Shorpy!!

That's a near west suburb of the city right on what is now the Metra Commuter rail line.
