Westbound Canadian Pacific freight train with former Soo Line locomotives. Franklin Park Illinois USA. May 2008.

Westbound Canadian Pacific freight train with former Soo Line railroad locomotives arriving in Franklin Park Illinois. May 2008.

I took this photo on a quiet and overcast Sunday afternoon, in May of 2008. A westbound Canadian Pacific Railroad freight train, is seen passing through the Franklin Park Netra commuter rail station. Notice the locomotives up front from the pre 1990 predecessor railroad Soo Line, still at work many years after the fact in their original colors and markings. The Canadian Pacific acquired the Soo Line through merger in the year of 1990.
