I took this Wintertime sunset railfan photo after work one evening, back in a very bitterly cold Febuary of 2007. The city of Chicago Illinois and the surrounding areas, were experiencing a severe deep freeze condition with single digit daytime temperatures, and several night time low temperatures of 10 degrees below zero.
It was 8 degrees above zero and falling fast when I took this photo just east of Hawthorne Junction at the Chicago city limits. A former GTW EMD roadswitcher, is seen at work spotting cars on an industrial siding along the former Illinois Central Railroad's Iowa Division Mainline. There was also a very sharp and cold wind blowing out of the west at the time of this photo.
