Southbound CSX light engine movement. Hawthorne Junction. Chicago / Cicero Illinois USA. March 2007.

Southbound CSX Transportation Co light engine movement. Hawthorne Junction. Chicago / Cicero Illinois. March 2007.

I took this photo after work one evening, in March of 2007. It is the very begining of the approaching Springtime season in Chicago, and most of the scenery and vegitation is still very straw brown and wintery looking yet.

Heading southbound over the Belt Railway of Chicago, is a CSX Transportation Company EMD SD 40-2 roadswitcher running light. The locomotive is believed to be returning to the Belt Railway of Chicago Clearing Yard locomotive shops in Bedford Park Illinois, after switching cars on the nearby CSX Transportation Company owned ex Baltimore & Ohio Railroad west 16th Street industrial branchline in Cicero Illinois.
