Westbound Canadian National switching train at Hawthorne Junction. Chicago Illinois USA. May 2007.

I took this photo after work one evening in May of 2007. A westbound Canadian National train of tank cars, is seen passing over the Belt Railway of Chicago crosstracks at Hawthorne Junction, at the Chicago city limits. Once this train is past the crosstracks, it will back down the interchange lead alongside the abandoned and soon to be redeveloped, Bel Air Drive In movie theatre property. Prior to 1999, the railroad line this train is moving on, was the former Illinois Central Railroad's Iowa Division mainline.
