Eastbound BNSF train on the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks. Photographed at West 60th Street and South Oak Park Avenue, Chicago Illinois USA. May 2006

An eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway freight train, with a borrowed Canadian National diesel, is seen after leaving the Belt Railway of Chicago,s "Clearing Yard". This transfer train is more than likely heading east to the former Santa Fe "Corwith Yard" at 47th Street and Archer Avenue on Chicago's southwest side. This scene was photographed by Me when I was heading home from work, and seen that the crossing gates at West 63rd Street and South Harlem Avenue had just lowered to block traffic. I headed north on Oak Park Avenue to where it ends at 60th Street. Here the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks curve and head east.
