Southbound Union Pacific empty unit coal train. Glenview Illinois. Monday, August 9th, 2010.

I took this photo after work one hot and very humid summer evening recently, in early August of 2010.

This very lenghty and now somewhat fast moving Union Pacific Railroad empty unit coal train, is viewed heading southbound past the West Lake Avenue railroad crossing in north suburban Glenview Illinois.

This now empty unit coal train, is begining it's journey westbound to the Powder River Basin in the state of Wyoming, where there is more than abundant coal strip mining activity.
