Eastbound Burlington Northern freight train. Highlands Station,Hindsdale Illinois USA. September 1993.

I took this photograph on a late Sunday afternoon in early September of 1993. We are looking West from the North platform of the Highlands commuter train station. There are 3 train stations on this railroad line in West suburban Hindsdale Illinois. Theres the "Highlands" depot on the east edge of Hindsdale, the Hindsdale depot in downtown Hindsdale, and the West Hindsdale depot just west of downtown Hindsdale. An eastbound Intermodal -Double Stack container train is passing through the Highlands Depot. The lead unit is painted in the "White Face" color scheme, wich at that time was an experimental "New Image" color scheme. In the year 1995, the Burlington Northern and the Santa Fe would merge and become BNSF.
