Starting a heavy C P freight train,



I photographed this digital live sound video in September of 2012.

We are on location at the Scott Street railroad crossing in northwest suburban Franklin Park
Illinois on a beautiful sunny afternoon.

An eastbound Canadian Pacific heavy transfer freight train, has just recieved clearance from
the railroad dispatcher, and is now getting it's long freight train underway from a dead stop.
Listen to the sounds of the engines reving, as this train gets moving under very heavy load
conditions.

Two Union Pacific Railroad locomotives running light, also pass by our camera location.
