A CN former Wisconsin Central EMD locomotive idling in the yard. Schiller Park Illinois USA. Early October 2007.

I took this photo one morning, in northwest suburban Schiller Park Illinois. In todays world of Mega Merging railroads, one can often find equipment and color schemes from former railroad companies acquired through merger. This former Wisconsin Central locomotive now works for the Canadian National Railroad, as is often seen working this small yard near West Lawrence and 25th Avenues near Chicago's O" Hare International Airport.

From the distance, this locomotive looks like something that You would find in the N Scale model train section of a local Hobby Store.
