<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Earlier this week I watched the weekly running, on NBC, of the drama "Chicago Fire". The program is taped, live, in the city of Chicago. This weeks episode was a re-run which I did watch several weeks ago. This second time through it, rather than follow the action of the characters, I paid close attention to what was going on in the background. <br>
<br></div>Normally, being taped in Chicago, all outdoor scenes are very "urban" in nature. This episode had a scene where a commuter train came off the tracks and caused lots of drama. This scene was not in an urban area however. It was in a more open setting outside the city. <br>
<br></div>I noticed, in the background, single-arm bracket trolley overhead poles along the side of a long building similar "in looks" to the TDB at PTM. The building was kind of a neutral color with a red roof and was a considerable distance in length. Some shots toward one end of that building gave a view of the trolley wire on bracket arms giving way to regular span wires over what could have been a yard area. There were several "vintage" railroad freight cars parked on the tracks in that area.<br>
<br></div>The question is, where in Chicago is there an electric railroad using regular trolley wire?<br clear="all"><div><div><div><div><div> <br>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Herb Brannon<b><font color="#888888"><div>
