The train just cleared the Oakton Street railroad crossing. Des Plaines Illinois USA. Monday, March 14th, 2011.

I took this photo Monday morning this week, during My lunchbreak.

We are on location at the Oakton Street railroad crossing, in northwest suburban Des Plaines Illinois near Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. A southbound Canadian Pacific freight train, has just cleared the railroad crossing. This train, is traveling over the Union Pacific Railroad's former Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad freight only cut off line, that is often refered to as "The U.P Techny Line".
