Westbound Burlington Northern Railroad commuter local. La Grange Illinois USA. Febuary 1985.
I took this photo one overcast Winter afternoon, way back in Febuary of 1985. A westbound Burlington Northern ( Early Metra) all stops local commuter train enroute to Aurora Illinois, is seen arriving at the La Grange Road train station in downtown west suburban La Grange Illinois. Those lineside telephone poles are now long gone.
The rebuilt 1953 vintage EMD model E-9 passenger locomotives in the 9900 series, worked commuter trains on this line until retirement in September of 1992.
