I took this twilight photo on a bitterly cold Chicago evening in January of 2009.
Sitting behind a chain link fence at 918 West Cermak Road in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood, are two rebuilt 1950's era EMD first generation yard swotcher locomotives from the industrial shortline Central Illinois Railroad. The locomotive to the right, was repainted in to the 1950's era Chicago, Burlington & Quincy style heritage paint scheme. With the light of day fading past after the sun had just set, and the fact that the outside flood light hadn't lit up yet...It was indeed a challenge taking this photo in single digit temperatures at nightfall.
