I took this photo after work one late afternoon in September of 2006.
After a hard day of work at one of My former jobs, I decided to head out to one of My favorite places in the greater Chicagoland area known as Commons Park in west suburban North Riverside Illinois.
It was a quiet evening with rain clouds forming in the western sky, but still a good time to relax in the fresh air and pleasant outdoor park setting.
Operating adjacent to the north perimeter of Commons Park, is the Canadian National ex Illinois Central Railroad, Iowa Division Mainline. A slow moving westbound CN train has just left the former Illinois Central Hawthorne Yard a few miles east of here in west suburban Cicero Illinois, and is now passing alongside Commons Park just east of Des Plaines Avenue.
Approximately one hour later, the greater Chicagoland area was pelted with heavy torrential rain and frequent thunderstorms. It was a wet night ahead.
