Westbound CTA Yellow line / Skokie Swift train at the Kostner Avenue railroad crossing. Skokie Illinois. August 2008.

I took this photo one summer afternoon in August of 2008. A Chicago Transit Authority Yellow Line / Skokie Swift train is photographed speeding past at the Kostner Avenue railroad crossing in north suburban Skokie Illinois. This line was opened in April of 1964, utilizing a small portion of the bankrupt and abandoned Chicago, North Shore & milwaukee Railroad's Skokie Valley Mainline.
