An image of Chicago winter railroading. Chicago Illinois USA. January 2007.

Chicago winter railroading. January 2007.

I took this photo one cold but very sunny winter morning, in January of 2007.
This is the Canadian National ex Illinois Central, Iowa Division Mainline tracks
just east of Hawthorne Junction. Although this is just a photo of railroad tracks,
ties, and a shoe print in the snow...These are some of the conditions I walked in
on foot to take these Chicago winter railroading photos. With sharp winds blowing
in out of the west and bitter windchill factors to deal with, it is definately
wool hat and gloves city for this local Chicago area railfan photographer. Brrrrr!
