Southbound Canadian National Railroad transfer train. Hawthorne Junction. Chicago / Cicero Illinois. June 2008.

I took this photograph after work one evening, back in June of 2008.

A southbound Canadian National Railroad transfer freight train traveling over the Belt Railway of Chicago, passes through the CN's former Illinois Central Railroad crosstracks at Hawthorne Junction.

Hawthorne Junction is located directly on the Chicago city limits border at west suburban Cicero Illinois. I am standing on the west side of the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks, on the Cicero side of the border.

This transfer freight train, is enroute to the Belt Railway of Chicago's Clearing Yard facility in nearby southwest suburban Bedford Park Illinois, near Chicago's Midway Airport.
