I took this photo after work one afternoon in June of 2007. A slow moving and very lenghty Norfolk Southern Railroad transfer freight train, is passing through Hawthorne Junction at the Chicago city limits near Cicero Illinois, enroute to the large Belt Railway of Chicago owned Clearing Yard in Bedford Park Illinois. I took this photo looking west from the interchange curve connection east of the crosstracks.
Railroad junctions like Hawthorne,can sometimes be rural and countrylike in any given large city. When it is between train times, one can often spot Birds or other Wildlife
as well as native Prarie Grasses and plantlife.
