Frosted ties. Chicago Illinois USA. January 2007.

Frosted ties. Chicago Illinois. January 2007.

I took this photo on a Winter morning in January of 2007. Looking east from the North
Kostner Avenue railroad crossing on the Metra / Union Pacific west line to Elburn Illinois....We see an often overlooked image of Chicago winter railroading. Although there wasn't any real snow accumulation on the ground, the cold air and damp conditions produced frost and snow flurries that clung to the railroad ties.
