I took this photograph at the Metra University Park station and terminal near Monee Illinois. The occasion was a May 1990 fantrip charter I had ridden on with a group known as the Central Electric Railfan Association. We had traveled over all three lines of the former Illinois Central electric commuter lines. This was the newest of the lines wich had opened during the late 1970's. The Illinois Central electric lines were originally steam powered, and were electrified in 1926.
