Eastbound Canadian Pacific Railroad freight train. River Grove Illinois USA. December 1st 2006.

The heavy morning snows had just stopped falling approximately one hour before I had the pleasure of taking this photograph. I was in northwest suburban River Grove Illinois on the afternoon of December 1st 2006. Shortly before I arrived here...I heard the distant "Tooting" of a railroad air horn, coming from the Franklin Park area just west of here. In approximately 6 minutes, this eastbound Canadian Pacific freight train rolled past the River Grove station in a Holiday / Christmas card setting. It was cold and windy, but definately worth the wait in a wool hat and a pair of gloves that afternoon.
