I took this photo on an overcast morning in December of 2006. This view looking up an embankment is no longer available due to recent construction activity. We are looking east, just north of Grand Avenue. A three unit set of mixed heritage Canadian Pacific diesel locomotives acquired through mergers, wait for clearance with their freight train on the interchange curve at Cragin Junction, on Chicago's northside.Once clearance is given, the train will leave the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks and head westbound on Canadian Pacific ex Milwaukee Road trackage to Bensenville Yard, or points west. This is a very busy Chicago railroad junction location, with numerous freight trains and Metra commuter rail passenger trains.
