Busy evening switching activity at Canadian National's former Illinois Central RR Crawford Yard. Chicago Illinois. Early November 2007.


I took this photo after work one overcast Autum evening, in early November of 2007.
We are looking south on South Kostner Avenue, were the street ends at what would approximately be West 33rd Street. A former Grand Trunk Western Railroad EMD roadswitcher acquired through merger by the Canadian National, is seen at work assembling freight trains inside the former Illinois Central Railroad "Crawford Yard", located just footsteps east of the border at west suburban Cicero Illinois.
Crawford Yard, is a modest facility located along the former Illinois Central Railroad's own Iowa Division Mainline.
