I took this photo around sunset on a bitterly cold day, in Febuary of 2007. The outside temperature was 8 degrees above zero and falling as night was approaching. With a sharp wind out of the west and fleeting daylight in the sky, a BNSF Railway light engine movement has just cleared the Canadian National ex Illinois Central crosstracks at Hawthorne Junction, and heads north over the Belt Railway of Chicago tracks. The locomotives are returning to the nearby BNSF Railway Clyde Yard in nearby Cicero Illinois. Another Chicago winter day was ending.
