The Osterman Avenue railroad crossing. Deerfield Illinois. August 2012.

I took this photograph recently one evening after work.

Seen here, is the Osterman Avenue railroad crossing in north suburban Deerfield Illinois.

Although between train times at the time of my visit, this is a very busy railroad crossing located along the Canadian Pacific ex Milwaukee Road north line to Fox Lake Illinois.

Frequent Metra commuter trains serving on the Metra / Milwaukee District north line as well as the Amtrak Empire Builder and Hiawatha passenger trains, pass through this crossing daily. Canadian Pacific freight trains operate through here mostly during Metra off peak hours.
