Former Soo Line locomotives lead a westbound Canadian Pacific freight train in to Franklin Park Illinois. June 2007.

 

I took this photograph on a hot summer day, back in June of 2007.

 

The railroad crossing gate mechanism box in the foreground, is

glistening in a fresh coat of silver paint, as a westbound Canadian

Pacific Railroad transfer train being pulled by former unrepainted

red and white Soo Line locomotives, slowly approaching the 25th

Avenue railroad crossing in northwest suburban Franklin Park Illinois.
