Eastbound Metra commuter local preparing to depart from the Galewood commuter rail station. Chicago Illinois USA. October 2008.
The conductor of an eastbound Metra commuter local enroute to Chicago Union Station, gives a hand signal to his fellow train conductors behind him that the passengers in his car have all boarded and disembarked at the Metra, Galewood commuter flagstop depot. Once all of the hand signals have been given amongst each other, the engineer will get his as well as a handheld radio transmission. The train will then proceed onward to Union Station in downtown Chicago Illinois. An everyday scene of evening rush hour commuter railroading.
