A former Illinois Central locomotive switching the east end of the CN Glen Yard. Chicago Illinois USA, May 2007.

I took this photo after work this monday evening. We are looking down from the east side of the south Central Avenue overpass bridge, on the south side of the I-55 Stevenson Expressway.

A former Illinois Central Railroad diesel engine, is seen at work pushing a cut of tank cars west, at the Canadian National Railroad's Glen Yard.

Glen Yard prior to 1972, was originally a facility used by the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad.

This black EMD locomotive, was still at work wearing the colors and markings of the former Illinois Central Railroad, wich was absorbed by the Canadian National Railroad through a merger back in the year of 1999.
