Which railroad company did my great great grandfather work on?

Henry Edward Alden was a fireman on a railroad. He was born in Needham, MA, lived in RI, and raised his family in Chicago.  Which rail line would have ended up in Chicago?  Ive been searching on line but can't find it?  

I have a picture which I think are his RR employee buddies!  Love the bushy mustaches.  Henry is the big guy on the far left.  thanks for your help!

  • Thank you for explaining. That does make sense that they would move for a new beginning.  I’m trying to find out where/what is th fertilizer plant near Chicago. Assuming they mix the fertilizer and not part of the meat plants!  
    I live an hour from Chicago. I should probably go to the historical library in Chicago. 

    thanks again. Blush
