This photograph was taken at 33rd Street just west of Pulaski Road in the Little Village Neighborhood on Chicago's Southwest Side. A light rain has started to fall (those are actually Raindrops on my Camera lens) as an eastbound Illinois Central Gulf Railroad transfer freight train, waits for clearance to proceed east. Once this freight train gets a Green Block Signal, it will proceed east to the downtown Chicago area, Go up and over the Saint Charles air line right of way, and South on Illinois Central Gulf's North -South mainline to Markham Yard near Harvey Illinois. The Train is in the area where the old wooden "Crawford" station stood untill the mid 1970's.
