Eastbound Iowa, Chicago & Eastern freight train passing through Roselle Illinois USA. Early September 2007.

I took this photo one morning at the Metra commuter rail station in Roselle Illinois. Seen here passing through the station enroute to Chicago, is an eastbound Iowa, Chicago & Eastern Railroad unit grain train. The train is traveling eastbound on the Canadian Pacific ex Milwaukee Road mainline. Word has it that the Canadian Pacific is acquiring the Iowa, Chicago & Eastern, and affiliate railroad Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern through a merger in the fall of 2007.
