I took this photo on an October 2008 visit, to the Canadian National ex Illinois Central RR Crawford Yard. Just west of the yard itself, is this factory spur siding. The covered hopper car, factory silos, and other features are now being silhouted by the setting Autum sun. In the background is a southbound freight train at Hawthorne Junction, traveling over the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks along the border at west suburban Cicero Illinois.

Hello Eddie,
I am a reload operator, found your photos on the web, and thought that you may be able to help me.
I am looking for an industrial site in the Chicago area, 10 to 20 acres, that has a rail spur and is serviced by a railroad, preferably the CN. Any suggestions?
In any case, may you and your loved ones have a blessed and joyous Christmas season.
