Eastbound Canadian Pacific freight train. River Grove Illinois USA. Friday, December 1st 2006.

Eastbound Canadian Pacific freight train passing through Christmas card scenery. Photographed at the northwest suburban Metra River Grove Illinois commuter rail station.

I took this photo on the afternoon of Friday, December 1st 2006, at the River Grove Metra commuter rail station on Thatcher Avenue.

Friday, December 1st 2006 was a day when Chicago was being pelted by heavy lake effect snowstorms all morning and part of the early afternoon. I took this photo at the Metra commuter rail station in near northwest suburban River Grove Illinois.
It is approximately 3:00 PM, and the heavy snow storm activity ended about 30 minutes ago.

Seen here is an eastbound Canadian Pacific freight train passing through a snowy Christmas card setting through freshly fallen snow. Notice the snow on the nose of the lead locomotive near the windshield.
