After work railfan surprise. CSX Transportation's 16th Street local. Cicero Illinois USA. September 2006.

This train is definately one of the most "Elusive" ones that I have ever come to know. This local operated by CSX Transportation, serves misc factories and industries in suburban Cicero Illinois along West 16th Street between Knox Street in Chicago, and Central Avenue in suburban Cicero Illinois. I am normally never around when this train is serving the on line industries, or Vise-Versa. One day after work in September of 2006, I was pleasantly surprised to find the switching local leaving a large industry at the end of the line, just east of Central Avenue, and heading back to Chicago. This line is the former Baltimore & Ohio Chicago Terminal Railroad, or B&OCT as it was known in Pre 1972 Chessie System days.
