I took this photo on a rainy evening after work, in August of 2009. I spotted this 1970's era covered hopper car from the now fallen flag railroad Burlington Northern, traveling northbound aboard a BNSF Railway heavy transfer freight train, This train had just departed from the Belt Railway of Chicago, Clearing Yard in nearby Bedford Park Illinois. This train is traveling northbound over the Belt Railway of Chicago, and is viewed crossing South Archer Avenue near Chicago's Midway Airport. The gentle rain makes this normally dirty and weather beaten train shimmer.
