IC 1020 and IC 1021

Once we made it into the city, traffic began to slow way down, despite being well past rush hour. However, that ended up being a very good thing, especially when deathstar black caught my eye. CN L535 was waiting for permission into the city with a pair of Deathstars, and thanks to the slow moving traffic, I was able to get a pretty clean shot of the train with the Chicago Skyline in the back. Awesome!

And unfortunately that is exactly what happened. Thankfully there was just enough of an opening to get the two trains meeting. This could have definitely been a lot worse. In a way, this is actually pretty cool.
