Westbound Norfolk Southern freight train waiting on a hold order at the Metra, Wrightwood commuter rail station. Chicago Illinois USA. January 2008.

Norfolk Southern freight train waiting on a hold order. Chicago Illinois. January 2008.

I took this photo across the tracks and short embankment from the Metra Wrightwood commuter rail station on the southwest side of Chicago, one dry and partly sunny Winter morning in early January 2008.

The crew from a soon to be westbound Norfolk Southern Railroad freight train, waits for clearance orders to proceed from the dispatcher. The train is temporarily parked adjacent to the Metra Wrightwood commuter rail station just west of the three way intersection of South Kedzie Avenue, West 79th Street and Southwest Highway. This photo location is just west of the nearby Norfolk Southern Landers Yard.
