Railroad passenger train relics from forgotten past eras are where You find them.

This wooden steam era passenger train station baggage wagon, is on display outside along the south platform shelter at the Riverside Illinois Metra commuter rail station.

If one uses their imagination....The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Pioneer Zephyr could be stopping here at anytime. Maybe even a local mail train powered by one of the Burlington's 1930 built Baldwin 4-6-4 Hudson type steam locomotives.

The old Chicago, Burlington & Quincy had nice train stations in the greater Chicagoland area. Riverside is definately a classic example even today.
