Eastbound ex Illinois Central coiled steel car. North Riverside Illinois. April 2007.

I took this photo after work one overcast spring afternoon, in April of 2007. Seen here heading eastbound on a Canadian National freight train, is this black coiled
steel hauling car with markings from predecessor railroad Illinois Central. The train is moving eastbound alongside Commons Park in west suburban North Riverside Illinois, and is traveling over the Canadian National RR former Illinois Central RR Iowa Division Mainline. The Canadian National acquired the Illinois Central RR in a 1999 merger.
