IHB industrial spur along Armitage Avenue

The rarely seen Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad
industrial switching local, slowly backing up
alongside Armitage Street. Melrose Park
Illinois. October 2007.

I was definitely at the right place / right time with
my camera in hand that day.

The branch came down from the north along 17th street.

The first spur to the south has been torn up. But the second spur still exists because Paragon Manufacturing still receives plastic pellets in covered hoppers.
