Former Grand Trunk western locomotive spotting cars on an industrial siding. Chicago Illinois. Febuary 2007.

I took this photo at sunset on a bitterly cold winter evening in Febuary of 2007. The city of Chicago Illinois was experiencing a severe deep freeze at the time of My photo visit here at the former Illinois Central Crawford Yard. The outside temperature was eight degrees above zero and falling as the sun was setting.

A former GTW EMD locomotive acquired through merger by the Canadian National Railroad, is viewed spotting covered hopper cars on the factory sidings just south of the old yard. There was a sharp and bitterly cold win blowing in from the west as night time was approaching.
