Assembling tank car trains at the former Illinois Central Crawford Yard. Chicago Illinois USA. Early April 2007.

I took this photo on an overcast afternoon in early April of 2007. Two diesel locomotives acquired by the Canadian National from the former Grand Trunk Western, and the Illinois Central, are seen switching and assembling a solid cut of tank cars, at Crawford Yard in Chicago Illinois. Crawford Yard is located at approximately West 33rd Street between South Pulaski Road and South Kostner Avenue, and is one of the former Illinois Central terminal facilities on what was the Iowa Division Mainline.
