Where did You take this photo at?

Hi.
I took this photo in the town of North Riverside Illinois. I was walking through Commons Park, just east of Des Plaines Avenue between Cermak Road and West 26th Street.

The Canadian National freight train is traveling westbound over the former Illinois Central Iowa Division Mainline.

News Update: Amtrak service may be started up in 2009 over this line.
A feasability study is in the works. The Amtrak Blackhawk last ran over this route in 1981.

Thank You.
Eddie.
