The Metra Franklin Park commuter rail station. Franklin Park Illinois USA. June 2007.

I took this photo on a hot summer afternoon, in June of 2007. This is the former Milwaukee Road commuter rail station in downtown Franklin Park Illinois. Located just west of 25th Avenue, this station is a very active location with numerous Metra commuter trains, and countless freight transfer trains entering and leaving the CP Rail Bensenville Yard just west of here. Preserved just west of here in a trackside city park, is an old steel 1920's era Milwaukee Road caboose and historic Tower B-12.
