1970's era Family Lines covered hopper. Hawthorne junction. Chicago / Cicero Illinois. June 2007.

I took this photograph during a June 2007 visit to Hawthorne Junction at the Chicago city limits.

I took this photograph facing east from the Cicero Illinois side of the Chicago city limits.

A 1970's era covered hopper car from the former SCL / L & N, Family Lines System railroad (Now CSX Transportation Company.) is viewed heading southbound over the Belt Railway of Chicago aboard a transfer train.

This train is passing through the Canadian National ex Illinois Central RR Iowa Division Mainline crosstracks on a hot Summer afternoon.
