Silent Digital Video: Switching activity at the former Illinois Central RR Crawford Yard. Chicago Illinois USA. April 2007.

I photographed this silent digital video after work one afternoon in early April of 2007. This is the Canadian National Railroad's ex Illlinois Central Crawford Yard, located just east of the Chicago city limits near the border at west suburban Cicero Illinois. This facility is located on the former Illinois Central Railroad's Iowa Division Mainline. Two second hand EMD roadswitchers, seen here in the predecessor railroad markings of the Illinois Central and the Grand Trunk Western Rauilroad, are shoving a cut of tank cars eastbound in to the yard during a switching manuever.
