Eastbound CSX Transportation west 16th Street industrial switching local. Cicero Illinois USA. April 2007.

I took this photo after work one evening in April of 2007 around 5: 15 PM. This was one of those "Lucky" right time-right place photographs of an eleusive local Chicagoland freight train I have come to know. Seen here slowly moving eastbound to Chicago, is the CSX Transportation Company industrial switching local, that serves the former B&O line along west 16th Street, in the west suburban village of Cicero Illinois. I was chasing and pacing the train from alongside west 16th Street, and took this photo from My cars front windshield. The train was finished working the factories, and was returning to the Belt Railway of Chicago interchange embankment.
