I took this photo at work 7 years ago, when I was employed as a delivery truck driver. Seen here at approximately south Austin Avenue and west 49th Street, is the Canadian National Glen Yard.The previous year of 1999, saw this former Illinois Central facility become Canadian National through a merger. Blue and red Grand Trunk Western and Central Vermont diesel locomotives, were becoming a now common sight at this time. There was still plenty of black and white Illinois Central locomotives working here, but now engines from the Grand Trunk Western and the Canadian National were taking over.
I was making a delivery to a nearby factory alongside the railroad property on this day.
