It is late in the day on this June 2008 visit to Hawthorne Junction, and soon the sun will be getting ready to set. A southbound Canadian National transfer freight train has just recieved clearance from the railroad dispatcher, and is now in transit over the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks enroute to Clearing Yard in Bedford Park Illinois. In a few moments, this train will be passing through the former Illinois Central crosstracks here at the Chicago city limits.
