The loud and distinct sounds of a heavy freight train starting up under load conditions, was heard in the distance on a lovely September afternoon in 2007. I was at the Metra Schiller Park commuter rail station in Chicago's northwest suburbs, when I spotted this heavy southbound CN Transfer train leaving the former Wisconsin central yard. Notice the unique wedge shaped waiting shelter design on the northbound commuter rail platform. The Metra "Mars" depot on Oak Park Avenue in Chicago also has this architectural feature.Wednesday, October 24, 2007
