Silent Digital Video: Two train meet at Hawthorne Junction. Chicago / Cicero Illinois USA. April 2007.

I photographed this silent digital video after work one afternoon, in early April of 2007. We are on location looking northwest at Hawthorne Junction. Hawthorne Junction is located on the Chicago city limits, at the border of west suburban Cicero Illinois. These two trains were spotted on the north and southbound Belt Railway of Chicago tracks. A southbound Norfolk Southern Railroad heavy transfer freight train enroute to Clearing Yard, meets a northbound Canadian Pacific intermodal transfer train enroute to Bensenville Yard. Both trains are passing through the Canadian National ex Illinois Central crosstracks at Hawthorne Junction. The hill in the background behind the northbound Canadian Pacific train, is the site of the abandoned Bell Air Drive In Movie Theatre in Cicero Illinois.
