Don's Rail Photos
Chicago West Pullman & Southern RR
The CWP&S was a switching road on the far south side of Chicago. It almost seemed like an in-plant road for the steel mills in the area. I visited the road in 1948 and found steam still being used, but most activity seemed to be hauling slag to nearby dumps. Now the railroad is a part of Chicago Rail Link.
