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

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

I took this photo on an overcast and bitterly cold winter morning, back in January of 2007. Seen here on an elevated embankment just west of the intersection of South Archer and Western Avenues, is a BNSF Railway unit coal train waiting for clearance at the then still manually operated Brighton Junction. The train was on a hold order, waiting for an eastbound Amtrak regional train from St.Louis Missouri to pass through the crosstracks enroute to Chicago Union Station.
