I took this photo one late afternoon in October of 1989. A westbound Metra / Burlington Northern Railroad commuter local enroute to Aurora Illinois, is seen in west suburban Riverside Illinois amidst lovely Autum scenery. The locomotive is an EMD 1953 vintage model E-8, that was upgraded to model E-9 status during the early 1970's after rebuilding. These were retired from service in September of 1992.
