Manufactuers Junction Railroad interchange local. Hawthorne Junction. Chicago Illinois USA. January 2007., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I risked bitterly cold "Frostbite" conditions on this clear and windy single digit temperature winter morning, back in January of 2007.
I am actually glad that I did in the long run.
An EMD SW 1 yard switcher locomotive from the little known shortline Manufacturers Junction Railway, is viewed departing from the former Illinois Central Hawthorne Yard at Cicero Illinois with a short cut of cars in tow.
Update: My good friend and fellow Chicago railfan Anthony C, has informed Me that the MJ EMD SW 1 yard switchers from the late 1940's and early 1950's era, have been cut up for scrap recently on their property.
Thanks.
Eddie K.
