Metra maintenance of way truck. Franklin Park Illinois USA. June 2008.

Metra Maintenance of Way Department equipment. Franklin Park Illinois. June 2008. I took this photo one quiet Summer evening in JUne of 2008. Seen here at a local maintenance garage facility operated by Chicago's Metra commuter rail agency, is a large Hi Rail equipped truck used in daily maintenance and support operations, on Chicago's vast network of commuter rail lines. Vechicles like this are very important for maintaining railroad infrastructure. This garage is located on the east side of northwest suburban Franklin Park Illinois, near the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad interchange.
