Eastbound Canadian Pacific freight train. Franklin Park Illinois USA. December 2006.

December in Chicago started out with a heavy snowstorm, with 12 inches of snow predicted on December 1st 2006. Within 2 weeks...The weather turned unseasonably warm, the heavy snow melted, and the last weeks of december looked and felt more like March instead.

I took this photograph on location in northwest suburban Franklin Park Illinois just before the Christmas holiday. A colorful red two unit set of diesels are leaving nearby Bensenville Yard with a large freight train and heading east past 25th
Avenue.
