Metra M.O.W ( Maintenance of way) Hi Rail equipped pick up truck. Chicago Illinois USA. September 2007.

I took this photo on West North Avenue on Chicago's northside, in September of 2007. This is located west of the Metra / Canadian Pacific ex Milwaukee Road mainline near South Central Park Avenue.

The small retractable flanged wheels, enable this vechicle to travel to any work site over the railroad mainline tracks. Maintenance is important to the infrastructure and operation of any commuter rail operation everyday.
