Deerfield

Here’s a northbound train tearing through Deerfield, Illinois, on the Milwaukee Road’s double track main line between Chicago and its namesake city. The location is where Waukegan Road and Telegraph road are on either side of the railroad, at North Avenue.

I’m really glad I shot three images here—head end coming, along with the locomotives and caboose going away. Otherwise I would not have caught something interesting here: that string of reefers three cars in front of the caboose. Look for the roof hatches open for drying. Until I saw this scan, I had no idea that ice-filled reefers were still in service when I was taking pictures back in the mid- to late-1970s.

Jeffrey B. (Jeff) Travis is currently practicing as an accountant in the Chicagoland area specializing in health care professionals, restaurants, real estate and construction, and manufacturing companies. The majority of his clients are physicians. Since the majority of Jeff’s clients are also “start-up” companies, his expertise in accounting software, consulting and taxes makes his services an excellent choice for any entrepreneur.

His career in public accounting started at a mid-size CPA firm. After ten years working for another mid-size suburban CPA firm, Jeff started his own firm in July 1995. At this time, Jeff’s interpersonal skills of presenting tax and accounting seminars at many hospitals in Chicago in front of resident, fellow and attending physicians blossomed into a practice niche for individual and business clients throughout the United States as many of clients moved out of the area and began their careers in other states.

Because of this, Jeff’s knowledge of taxes of a variety of states is valuable to understand the tax ramifications of moving to a different state, including the US territories.

Jeff graduated from Northern Illinois University with a B.A. in Accountancy. He was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. He is the son of an immigrant father and his mother was born in Chicago as well. Jeff lives in Chicago with his wife and four children.
