Digital Live Sound Video: Southbound Canadian Pacific freight train. Glenview Illinois USA. Monday, Febuary 9th, 2009.

I photographed this digital live sound video looking west on West Lake Avenue in north suburban Glenview Illinois. The weather over the weekend turned very warm and mild with temperatures in the low to mid 50's temporarily, melting much of the January 2009 Chicagoland lake effect snow accumulations. It was chilly on Monday nonetheless with temperatures in the upper 30's and low 40's.

Seen here at the West Lake Avenue railroad crossing in north suburban Glenview Illinois, is a southbound Canadian Pacific Railroad heavy transfer freight train. The train is traveling over the Union Pacific Railroad's former Chicago & NorthWestern freight only cut off line near Northbrook Illinois. The train is traveling southwest over this former Chicago & Northestern train line on an overcast Winter morning.
