I took this photo last Autum in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood on the near southside of the city. The privately owned shortline railroad Central Illinois Railroad, works the industrial switching chores on this former Burlington Northern branchline. Locomotive # 1206 has been painted up in the 1950's color scheme of pre 1070 Burlington Northern predecessor railroad Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. C,B & Q switched this line during the 1960's with EMD switchers in this color scheme.
