Westbound Metra express commuter train on a foggy morning. River Forest Illinois USA. November 2006.
I took this photo on a damp and foggy late Autum morning, in November of 2006. Seen here, is an approaching westbound Metra express commuter train to Elburn Illinois, wich will merely pass through the elevated River Forest Illinois Metra commuter rail station. This train station, is located along the Metra / Union Pacific Railroad -West Line to Elburn Illinois. Prior to 1998, this was the former Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad. The passengers on the platform, are waiting for the soon to arrive eastbound local to downtown Chicago Illinois. The former Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad, operated with left hand style running, and is still operated as such today under the Union Pacific Railroad's operations.
