Digital Live Sound Video: A speeding northbound Canadian Pacific intermodal train. Northbrook Illinois USA. Late July 2009.

I photographed this digital live sound video on location at the Techny Road railroad crossing, in north suburban Northbrook Illinois. It is the end of the day around sunset tume. Seen here runing at speed, is a northbound Canadian Pacific intermodal train. The freight trains don't normally operate on the Canadian Pacific ex Milwaukee Road northline mainline south of the Techny Road railroad crossing, but rather interchange just south of here on to and off of the Union Pacific ex Chicago & Northwestern Railroad freight only cut off line.

This freight run is a rare sight, and the fact that it is sunset explains that it is past the rush hour period for commuter trains on the portion of the line that is dedicated to passenger operation.
