Eastbound locomotives waiting on a hold order. Chicago Illinois USA. May 2007.

I took this photo one afternoon after work, in May of 2007.

We are looking down from the east side of the South Central Avenue overpass bridge at the Chicago city limits. We are just north of the Illinois U.S Route # I-55 Stevenson Expressway (Out of view behind the tree lined embankment alongside the locomotives) at the border of the suburban towns of Cicero and Stickney Illinois.

One red and silver BNSF Railway locomotive is leading three Norfolk Southern locomotives on an eastbound light engine movement over the BNSF Railway's former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe mainline. There was a considerable amount of north and southbound transfer trains at the Nerska Junction crosstracks about one mile east of here, so these four locomotives are seen waiting on a hold order until further notice from the railroad dispatcher.
