Northbound Canadian Pacific intermodal transfer train. Hawthorne Junction. Chicago Illinois USA. March 2007.

A northbound CP Rail transfer train, is crossing over the former Illinois Central crosstracks at Hawthorne Junction. The steel signal shed, is where the old wooden interlocking tower stood prior to 1990. The grassy hill in the background, is the abandoned Bel Air drive in theatre. At this interchange junction, the Belt Railway of Chicago crosses the Canadian National -ex Illinois Central Iowa Division Mainline.
