I wonder if Mr. Miller was a railroad employee, maybe of the C&WI itself? Hard to imagine a freelance railfan gaining such close (not to mention dangerous!) access to these locations. This is amazing footage, even on silent B&W film--glad it was preserved.
Cool old footage of steam trains in the past here from all these major kinds of railroads.

Awesome Chicago history!
Very nice steam action! Thanks for posting.
Delicious. Great selection of fallen flags. Thanks.
wonderful upload like 3
Is that vinnie's basic at 3:34 3:56 and 4:24?
Seems like they were going too fast being in a yard with other trains around. Too much of a chance for an accident.
4K ??? Great upload anyways.
It's 4K on my end
