abondoned looking railroad lines in hegewisch

i was driving around in hegewisch the other day, and spotted a railroad line around 133rd street. The line runs north in between green bay st and mackinaw then curves then runs straight north to the "east side" neighborhood near the skyway. Does anybody know if this line is still used? I was fishing last summer at wolf lake and a small train came right through the area. I looked it up on google and saw the lines are not the same.

You can check abandonedrails.com. There might be some info on it. I am a northsider and I don't really know.

I deliver trains to a yard at 95th & Commercial, and this yard has work trains that spot and pull some of the remaining local enterprises. It might have been an IHB switcher that you saw, the lines still connect.
