I took this photo recently one morning in January of 2010.
Heading southbound along the west side of Illinois U.S Route # 43 / Waukegan Road in far north suburban Baneckburn Illinois, is a heavy Canadian Pacific Railroad unit grain train with several tons in tow. The lead diesel unit in the background is a weather beaten Canadian Pacific unit that was due for a much needed paint job, while the two trailing units are former Iowa, Chicago & Eastern Railroad locomotives acquired by the Canadian Pacific through merger in 2009.
This rail line is the Canadian Pacific owned former Milwaukee Road north line.
