Westbound Metra commuter train. Chicago Illinois USA. December 2006.

Westbound Metra commuter train. Chicago Illinois. December 2006.

I took this photo one evening in December of 2006, at the North Kostner Avenue railroad crossing adjacent to West Kinzie Street. A westbound Metra commuter train enroute to Elburn Illinois, is seen passing through the Northwest Industrial Park on the Metra / Union Pacific Railroad "West Line". Prior to the 1998 merger and acquisition of this mainline by the Union Pacific Railroad, this was the former Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad mainline.
