I took this photo one lovely October afternoon in 2007. Seen here gradually picking up speed as it passes through the west suburban village of Riverside Illinois, is a westbound empty unit coal train enroute to the Powder River Basin in the State of Wyoming. The BNSF Railway sees numerous freight trains through here on any given day. Riverside is a great place for railfans like Myself and a few others, to obtain some great mainline photographs in Chicagoland.Prior to 1970, this line was originally the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad.
