One of the reasons I really enjoy lineside railfanning like I do, are those occasional "Chance Encounters" one can experience when equipment from fallen flag railroads pass by. I spotted this coal hopper car, still wearing the colors and corporate markings from the predecessor railroad Chicago & NorthWestern, on an eastbound Union Pacific Railroad unit coal train. This train was photographed alongside West Kinzie Street near North Kilbourn Avenue.
The Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad, was absorbed through merger by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1998.
