Looking south at Hawthorne Junction. Chicago Illinois USA. March 2007.

Winter was giving way to early Spring, when I took this photo after work back in late March of 2007. We are looking south from Hawthorne Junction, at the Chicago city limits near Cicero Illinois. A southbound CSX Transportation EMD SD 40-2 locomotive is seen up ahead, passing a Canadian National freight train heading into Hawthorne Yard from the Belt Railway of Chicago interchange curve. The steel shed behind the chain link fence, is where the old wooden interlocking tower had stood untill 1990. Just above the name Hawthorne on the sign placcard, is the Belt Railway of Chicago logo.
