Digital live Sound Video: Eastbound Canadian Pacific short freight train lead by a former Soo Line locomotive. Franklin Park Illinois USA. March 2009

I photographed this digital live sound video on location, at the Edgington Street railroad crossing in Franklin Park Illinois. A former Soo Line railroad EMD roadswitcher that is still wearing the 1970's era colors and markings of the predecessor railroad, is viewed slowly approaching the Edgington Street railroad crossing with a short cut of mostly empty intermodal cars in tow.

The Soo Line Railroad was acquired by the Canadian Pacific and absorbed through a merger in the year of 1990. It is a fallen flag railroad, but for some reason or another...the successor company Canadian Pacific Railroad still has many pieces of former Soo Line equipment rolling around in their former owners colors and markings rolling around Chicago today.
