Westbound Norfolk Southern morning freight train on CP Rail.mainline. Chicago Illinois USA. December 2006.

I took this photo at the Metra "Montclair" station at the Chicago city limits with suburban Elmwood Park Illinois. A fast westbound Norfolk Southern Railroad freight train is leaving Chicago and entering suburban Elmwood Park Illinois in a short distance of 2 city blocks east of Harlem Ave. This is the Canadian Pacific Railroads former Milwaukee Road mainline. Many of the freight trains on this line are Transfer trains going or coming from CP Rails Bensenville Yard, to the Belt Railway of Chicago's Clearing Yard in southwest suburban Bedford Park Illinois.
