An old favorite railfan photo haunt of Mine in the city of Chicago Illinois, is the Metra,former Milwaukee Road commuter rail station at Western Avenue. This is a very busy railfan photo location just west of downtown Chicago with two adjacent Metra commuter coach servicing yard facilities, light Metra engine movements to and from Chicago Union Station, and even a little storage yard for Maintenance of Way equipment shown here just west of the Western Avenue station. I have spotted this particular maintenance of way train on the Metra ex Milwaukee Road mainline to Fox Lake Illinois many times, but never between assigments at this location until this June 2007 visit.
