I took this photo after work one day, in May of 2007. Seen here just east of west suburban Cicero Illinois at the Chicago city limits, are a mismatched set of former GTW and current CN color schemed EMD roadswitchers, backing a large cut of tank cars northbound on the Belt Railway of Chicago interchange siding at Hawthorne Junction. The train is crossing over the Canadian National's former Illinois Central Iowa division Mainline crosstracks. The tracks in the foreground are the Belt Railway of Chicago's north and south trunk line that operates between Clearing Yard to the south and Cragin Junction to the north. This is a very busy Chicago rail Jct.
