Dick Tracy vs. Cueball (RKO 1946)

In the final 10 minutes of the film, Tracy chases Cueball through a yard where they -

1) Leap from a wood walking bridge over the yard to the top of a tied-down SP box string (picture below)

2) Cueball gets his foot stuck in a switch and is mooshed by a ATSF passenger highball

Was this the walking bridge in Taylor yard?

I could not find the location in a web search.

Thanks for any help!

I do not have a specific answer, but this info may help others in the search --

The movie Dick Tracy vs. Cueball (1946) [Crime] [Action] [Mystery] is available here -- [www.youtube.com]. The scene you asked about begins at about 58:25.

My search was [Dick Tracy vs. Cueball locations] [www.google.com]

Although it doesn't provide an answer to the OP's "location" question, this List of Dick Tracy characters -- [en.wikipedia.org] -- does provide info about many "railroad", "train", etc., encounters/references in DT's world.
