Southbound Canadian Pacific unit grain train crossing South Archer Avenue. Chicago Illinois USA. June 2008.

Southbound Canadian Pacific unit grain train crossing South Archer Avenue. Chicago Illinois. June 2008.

I took this photo after work one Summer afternoon back in June of 2008.

We are up close at the Belt Railway of Chicago railroad crossing just east of the intersection of South Archer and Knox Avenues near Chicago's Midway Airport area.

A slow moving and very lenghty Canadian Pacific Railroad unit grain train, is heading southbound enroute to the Belt Railway of Chicago Clearing Yard in nearby south suburban Bedford Park Illinois.

With many slopw moving transfer trains passing through here 24 -7, this railroad crossing is to blame for numerous traffic jams on South Archer Avenue.
