Used to live in Northlake Il , south of the yards between Lake st.and North Ave. You could hear those cars being humped all the time the squealing as they hit the retarders , and the people calling out over the PA system . I truly miss that , was nice to see what Proviso was , because it sure dont look like this now .UP changed up the whole place , no more hump , Seems more now thats its turned into a intermodal yard now.does not seem to be much left in the way of those buildings either..
That must have been incredible to grow up so close to the yard! UP removed the hump from Davidson Yard in Fort Worth too, but it was reinstated several years ago. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Darrell! It's fascinating to watch these old videos of huge railroads in their full glory.
Where's the opening audio ?
Some audio was removed for copyright reasons.
Actually, it's Chicago and North Western (two words).
Thanks for the correction. 👍
