I took this photo looking east, from the South Central Avenue overpass bridge near the I-55 Stevenson Expressway. An intermodal container train, and a set of diesels from the Norfolk Southern Railroad, are seen stuck waiting on a hold order. Nearby Nerska Junction was occupied with many north and south Belt Railway of Chicago transfer trains. It would be quiete awhile before these crews would be allowed to proceed anywhere on this line.Railroad crews frequently experience long work days due to all the time that is spent waiting.
