Westbound Canadian National freight train. Hawthorne Junction. Chicago / Cicero -Illinois USA. June 2007.

I took this photo after work one summer afternoon, in June of 2007. A westbound Canadian National freight train with former Illinois Central locomotives on the head end, has just cleared the Belt Railway of Chicago crosstracks at Hawthorne Junction , and is entering the west suburban village of Cicero Illinois at the Chicago city limits. The hill in the background to the right, is the site of the abandoned and now redeveloping Bel Air Drive In Movie Theatre.
