I'm trying to puzzle out this shot, it looks like it was taken at Forest Ave in Downers Grove during the 1947 wreck clean up, but there seems to be too many tracks in the foreground.  The track that the shovel nose is on appears to be the one that ran behind the Main St station, but the other two I have no knowledge of; was there some sort of industrial spur west of Forest on the north side of the tracks?
