  CSXT 8410 leads a manifest freight east on the Indiana Harbor Belt (IHB) main line at Dolton Junction. The freight train is crossing the north-south UP main line. In the background is the headlight of an IHB locomotive switching on the eastern end of the IHB's Blue Island Yard. In the far background, a train sits on the Canadian National (ex-IC)/Metra electric line.

  1. I always find crossings like this very interesting though I imagine there are a lot of them around.

    1. There are lots. This is one of the real busy ones. IHB, UP, and CSX all crisscross and come together here.
