Norfolk Southern transfer train waiting on a hold order. Cragin Junction. Chicago Illinois. June 2007.

I took this photo on a hot summer afternoon in June of 2007. We are looking east from the north or "Westbound" platform of the Metra Grand / Cicero Avenue commuter rail station. A soon to be westbound Norfolk Southern transfer train, is seen waiting on a hold order at Cragin Junction. The train is idling on the interchange lead, waiting to depart from Belt Railway of Chicago trackage, on to the Canadian Pacific ex Milwaukee Road mainline. Cragin Junction, is the north terminal for the Belt Railway of Chicago.
