Northbound Canadian Pacific intermodal transfer with a former Soo Line caboose on the rear. Hawthorne Junction. Chicago Illinois USA. March 2007.

I took this photo after work last year, on an early Spring day in late March of 2007. The snowy landscapes and deeep freeze conditions had just passed in Chicago, and soon the brown winter landscape would make way for green springtime scenery and milder temperatures. Seen here heading northbound at Hawthorne Junction on the Chicago City Limits near Cicero Illinois, is a Canadian Pacific intermodal transfer train traveling over the Belt Railway of Chicago. An even rarer sight these days, are cabooses on freight trains.
