Southbound Norfolk Southern transfer train waiting on a hold order. Chicago Illinois. October 2006.

I photographed this southbound Norfolk Southern transfer train one afternoon in October of 2006. This train is currently stuck in a railroad traffic jam, as there is another train stopped approximately 80 feet ahead of it. The train was photographed on the Belt Railway of Chicago north and south trunk line, just south of West Madison Street. There are many crosstrack interchange junctions south of here on the Belt Railway of Chicago, and priority has been more or less given to the trains of the railroads the BRC crosses at leval.
