Southbound BNSF Railway unit coal train. Chicago Illinois USA. January 2007.

Southbound BNSF Railway unit coal train waiting for clearance north of Brighton Junction. Chicago Illinois. January 2007.

I took this photo on a very windy and cold overcast Winter morning, in January of 2007. I spotted this BNSF Railway, southbound unit coal train, just north of the crosstracks at Chicago's Brighton Junction. The train was waiting on a hold order, as an eastbound Amtrak regional passenger train enroute to Chicago from St.Louis Missouri, was to have the right of way at the crosstracks. I froze to take this photo that morning.....but it was definately worth the effort.
