Wintertime at Chicago's busy Hawthorne Junction. Chicago Illinois USA. January 2007.

I took this photo on a sunny and very blustery cold morning, in January of 2007. A northbound Canadian National transfer train on the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks, had to wait for clearance from the dispatcher to proceed north. While the transfer freight train was stopped, I spotted a former Grand Trunk Western blue and red EMD roadswitcher waiting for clearance to proceed eastbound on the former Illinois Central Iowa Division Mainline.
