When they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words."  This is the picture they are talking about.  :eusa-think:

Look at the wood framed boxcars, the late 30's, early 40's vehicles...that locomotive is a 2-8-2 Mikado!!  Who's that kid with no socks??  :)

This could be the train yard in Bensenville, Illinois...I've done a ton of train watching there through the years.  :handgestures-thumbupright:

 

edited years of vehicles per JimD below.  :)

Sharp eye, Steve! Definitely a Milwaukee Rd. L-1 Mikado and a Ribbed-Side caboose. I don't think that it is Bensenville though. Perhaps further east inside the city limits?

Karl, used to do the penny thing on the tracks.  I still might have them.  I remember them being hard to find sometimes.  :)
