When I occasionally look back at the decade of the 1980's, many happy memorys of afternoons in downtown west suburban La Grange come to mind. I had spent much time here on again / off again railfaning the Burlington Northern mainline with My 35mm Pentex ME Super in hand back then.
I took this photo on an overcast winter afternoon way back in Febuary of 1985. A westbound Burlington Northern commuter train enroute to Aurora Illinois, is viewed arriving at the La Grange Road Amtrak / Metra commuter rail station in downtown west suburban La Grange Illinois. The train is being headed up by the then standard 1953 vintage Burlington Northern EMD model E-9 passenger locomotive.
The 1980's were a great time to go lineside railfanning in La Grange Ilinois.
