I took this photo on a bitterly cold and quiete windy January morning in 2007.
This is the elevated River Forest, Metra comuter rail station located in the suburban village of River Forest Illinois just east of Maywood. This old attractive steam era train station with a touch of European Challet styling, was originally serving passenger trains on the predecessor railroad Chicago & NorthWestern. Today, it serves Metra commuter locals on the Metra / Union Pacific, West line to Elburn Illinois.This is a very busy Chicagoland railroad mainline that sees numerous Union Pacific freight trains, as well as several Metra express and local commuter trains daily.
