C&NW Bi-Level long distance passenger train         
Date approximate but likely a Sunday. This is a C&NW long distance passenger train arriving at the terminal in Chicago. Engines are E8A 5026B and F7A 4075C. It is not a commuter because it has two diesels, is headed into the station engine first (commuter were cab car first), and although hard to see, the fifth car has no center door because it is a Bi-Level diner with a false roof extension to match the other cars. The bridge carries the CTA Lake Street EL over the C&NW tracks and in later years was replaced with a through girder style.
