Northbound Canadian National transfer train approaching Hawthorne Junction. Chicago / Cicero Illinois. Early October 2007.

I took this photo after work one late afternoon, in early October of 2007. A slow moving northbound heavy transfer freight train from the Canadian National Railroad, is now approaching the crosstracks at Hawthorne Junction. Hawthorne Junction is located directly on the Chicago City Limits border, at west suburban Cicero Illinois.

The Canadian National train is traveling over the Belt Railway of Chicago line, and will soon pass through the Canadian National's former Illinois Central Railroad Iowa Division Mainline at the Chicago city limits.
