I took this photo one hot summer morning, in late July of 2009.
We are on location at the Techny Road railroad crossing in far north suburban Northbrook Illinois. A southbound Canadian Pacific Railroad heavy freight train, has just turned off of the former Milwaukee Road northline, and is now entering the interchange to the Union Pacific freight only cut off line. This freight only cut off line, was originally owned and operated by the Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad.
Freight train traffic on the former Milwaukee Road northline, operates from this junction point at Techny Road and points north of here. It is a busy location.
