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

One of My personal favorites amongst My archives of railfan photos I had photographed, and proboubly one of the rarest....Is this wintertime railfan
photo I had taken one morning at Hawthorne Junction. The rarely seen local
operated by the Manuafacturors Junction Railroad, is seen returning from the
Canadian National ex Illinois Central Hawthorne Yard in nearby Cicero Illinois,
with a small cut of boxcars in tow. This industrial shortline railroad, has been
using these old 1940's and early 50's era 1st Generation EMD SW-1 yard switchers.
