I took this photo looking west from the outer platform, at the Metra commuter rail station in River Forest Illinois. The River Forest commuter station, is up on an elevated concrete grade separated right of way. Immediately west of the station, is an underpass viaduct over Thatcher Avenue. This is on the very busy Union Pacific west line to Elburn Illinois. Safety is for everyone, and railfans as well as curious explorers, are advised to keep off of the railroad bridge.Stay safe, stay on the platform.

Hi there fellow railfan!
Thatcher Avenue is immediately "West" of the Metra, River Forest commuter rail station. The bridge I am refering to, is actually the Thatcher Avenue underpass viaduct.
Thank You.
