Commuter coach details between the cars. River Grove Illinois USA. January 2009.

The couplers, electrical and airbrake connections on a Metra commuter rail train. River Grove Illinois. January 2009.

I took this photo on a bitterly cold, but very brightly sunlit morning in January of 2009. Seen here at the River Grove, Metra commuter rail station...is an eastbound all stops local commuter train enroute to Chicago Union Station.

In this unique behind the scenes photo taken between the coupled cars, we see the Diaphragms , Couplers, Airbrake Hoses, and Electrical Cables used in daily and safe operation of Chicago's Metra commuter trains.
