I photographed this sunny afternoon summer scene after work one day, in July of 2006. A northbound Canadian Pacific Railroad double stack container train is passing under the Chicago Transit Authority's "Green Line" Rapid Transit line to Oak Park Illinois. This scene is just north of Lake Street about a block west of North Kilbourn Avenue, on Chicago's West side. This train has left the Belt Railway of Chicago's "Clearing Yard" located in Southwest suburban Bedford Park, near Chicago's Midway Airport, and is heading to Cragin Junction, where it will head west on the former Milwaukee Road trackage to the yard in Bensenville Illinois. The lead diesel unit is still in Soo Line markings. The Canadian Pacific Railroad absorbed the Soo Line Railroad through a merger in the year of 1990.
