Speeding westbound BNSF Railway empty unit coal train. Stone Avenue station. La Grange Illinois USA. June 2007.

I took this photo on a cloudy evening after work, in late June of 2007. Seen here speeding westbound through the Stone Avenue station in west suburban La Grange Illinois, is a BNSF Railway empty unit coal train. This train is more than likely heading to the strip mines in the state of Wyoming. Wyoming's Powder River Basin is an area of heavy coal mining activity.
