Northbound Iowa,Chicago & Eastern freight train on a hold order. The Belt Railway of Chicago trackage. Chicago Illinois USA. November 2006.

I took this photo one morning at work, back in late November of 2006. Seen here on the Belt Railway of Chicago's elevated embankment just north of west Lake Street, is a northbound unit grain train from the midwest regional railroad -"Iowa ,Chicago & Eastern". There was lots of morning east and west railroad traffic approximately one mile north at Craigin Junction. This train and one approximately 30 feet ahead of it on the same track, were stuck there waiting for clearance from the dispatcher.
