Manufactuers Junction Railroad interchange local. Hawthorne Junction. Chicago Illinois USA. January 2007.

I braved bitter freezing cold and sharp winds one morning in January of 2007, and was rewarded with this rare photo of the obscure Manuafacturer's Junction Railroad local departing the nearby CN Hawthorne Yard in Cicero Illinois, with a small cut of cars in tow. The train is seen entering the northbound interchange curve at Hawthorne Junction, located at the Chicago city limits.
