Union Pacific Railroad locomotives on Western Avenue viaduct. Chicago Illinois USA. July 2006.

I took this photograph out My front windshield, wich unfortunately hadn't been cleaned in a while, while I was driving north on Western Avenue just south of Ogden Avenue U.S Route # 34 in the city of Chicago Illinois. These units are wearing Union Pacific Railroad's "Waving Flag" logo, wich appeared on some Union Pacific diesel locomotives after the Tragic Terrorist Attacks on America on September 11th 2001. These locomotives are seen at a former Chicago & North Western Railroad Intermodal Facility. The Union Pacific Railroad absorbed the C&NW railroad through a merger in the year of 1998. It was a matter of time anyway, since later C&NW freight trains had Union Pacific locomotives as well as their own on the head end.
