Former Illinois Central and Wisconsin Central locomotives acquired by Canadian National through merger. Franklin Park Illinois. December 2008.

I took this photo back in December of 2008.

Locomotives and equipment from recent fallen flag railroads acquired through mergers, are a common site today in the greater Chicagoland area.

These locomotives from the former Illinois Central and Wisconsin Central Railroads, were acquired through merger in recent years by the Canadian National Railroad.

These two EMD locomotives, are waiting for clearance to depart from the Canadian Pacific ex Milwaukee Road Bensenville Yard with an eastbound freight train.
