Westbound Burlington Northern / Early Metra commuter train. La Grange Illinois USA. Febuary 1985.

Burlington Northern commuter train approaching the La Grange Road commuter rail station. La Grange Illinois USA. Febuary 1985.

One of My all time favorite photos I had taken during My early days as an amature railfan photographer, is this one in downtown west suburban La Grange Illinois.
Seen here on a dry, but cold and overcast winter afternoon nonetheless...Is a westbound Burlington Northern Railroad local commuter train arriving at the brown brick La Grange Road Amtrak / Metra commuter rail station. This train is heading to Aurora over the Burlington Northern Railroad's three track Chicago to Aurora Illinois mainline, wich was refered to as "The Racetrack".
