Northbound Union Pacific local freight train. Glenview Illinois USA. January 2010.

Northbound Union Pacific local freight train. Glenview Illinois. January 2010.

I took this photo a few days ago during My morning lunch break.

A northbound Union Pacific Railroad local freight train, is seen passing the West Lake Avenue railroad crossing in north suburban Glenview Illinois.

This train is traveling over the Union Pacific Railroad's former Chicago & Northwestern Railroad freight only cut off line with a short train in tow.

Unfortunately, it was bitterly cold and windy at the time of this photo, and My digital camera batteries "Died" immediately on the scene after I snapped this photo.
It was too bad, because on the rear end of the train was a former Chicago & Northwestern Railroad bay window caboose that was still painted in the colors and markings of the fallen flag railroad Chicago & NorthWestern. Rats!!!

Better luck next time.
