BNSF Railway covered grain hopper. Hawthorne Junction. Chicago / Cicero Illinois. March 2007.

BNSF Railway covered grain hopper car. Hawthorne Junction. Chicago / Cicero Illinois. March 2007.

I took this photo after work one day, in March of 2007 at the Chicago city limits. Seen here traveling southbound on a BNSF Railway unit grain train, is this modern covered hopper in the current BNSF Railway "Swoosh" style markings. This heavy unit grain train, is seen passing by the Cicero border through Hawthorne Junction, enroute to the Belt Railway of Chicago Clearing Yard in nearby southwest suburban Bedford Park Illinois. Unit grain movements are common sights through here.
