Westbound Burlington Northern Railroad empty unit coal train. La Grange Illinois USA. February 1986.











Even during the Wintertime, west suburban La Grange Illinois can be a beautiful place to visit.

I took this photo during a February 1986 visit to La Grange.

With plenty of hazy winter sunshine, moderate temperatures, a light breeze and an abundance of frequent train activity along the Burlington Northern 3 track Chicago to Aurora commuter mainline...It was an absolutely wonderful day to go railfanning.

This westbound Burlington Northern empty unit coal train, is viewed speeding through the La Grange Road Amtrak / Metra commuter rail station alongside Burlington Avenue.
