Looking east inside the Canadian National ex Illinois Central Crawford Yard. Chicago Illinois USA. June 2008.

looking east inside Crawford Yard. Chicago Illinois. June 2008.

I took this photo on location at the CN Crawford Yard at the Chicago city limits, one hot summer afternoon in June of 2008. Crawford Yard is a small former Illinois Central yard, located on Chicago's near southwest side at West 33rd Street and South Kostner Avenue, just east of the border at west suburban Cicero Illinois. There was not an ounce of yard switching activity at the time of My visit, but there was a nice variety of freight cars to be found on these light railed sidings.
