Side by side running at the Metra, Hanson Park flagstop depot. Chicago Illinois USA. Early September 2007.

Side by side running at the Metra, Hanson Park commuter rail flagstop depot. Chicago Illinois. Early September 2007.

I took this photo after work one afternoon, in early September of 2007.

We are on location looking east, at the Metra, Hanson Park commuter flagstop depot immediately adjacent to the North Central Avenue overpass bridge. A trio of slow moving westbound Canadian Pacific EMD roadswitchers on the bypass freight line to the right, are being overtaken by a fast moving westtbound Metra express commuter train. It is the begining of the afternoon and evening rush hour period on the former Milwaukee Road west line to Elgin Illinois.
