Former Illinois Central units lead a freight train Hawthorne Junction. Chicago / Cicero Illinois. june 2007.

I took this photo after work one hot summer afternoon back in june of 2007.

Two former Illinois Central EMD roadswitchers, are viewed pulling a westbound Canadian National freight train through Hawthorne Junction at the Chicago city limits.

This train is pasing through the Belt Railway of Chicago crosstracks, and is now entering in to west suburban Cicero Illinois. The hill in the background, is the site of the abandoned Bell Air Drive In Movie Theatre, wich is currntly being redeveloped. A Super Walmart is supposed to open here eventually.
