Westbound Union Pacific unit tank train.Chicago Illinois USA. July 2007.

I took this photo one hazy summer morning in Chicago, looking east along West Kinzie Street and North Kilbourn Avenue. A westbound Union Pacific Railroad unit tank train has a green signal from the dispatcher, and is picking up speed as it leaves the city of Chicago. Notice the covered hopper car behind the borrowed CSX locomotive,acting as a buffer in case of a fuel explosion or derailment in transit.
