There is nothing like some Springtime after work railfanning. I took this photo after work one lovely Spring afternoon in May of 2007. We are looking west on the CN former Illinois Central Iowa Division Mainline at Hawthorne Junction, on a sunny and pleasantly mild afternoon,with outside temperatures in the upper 70's.A Canadian National two unit set of EMD roadswitchers, has just left nearby Crawford Yard, and is backing northbound on the interchange tracks, that run paralel to the North /South Belt Railway of Chicago line. The large manmade hill in the background, is the site of the long abandoned Bel Air Drive In Movie Theatre at the Chicago City Limits by Cicero Illinois.
