I took this photo way back in February of 1985.

This is one of My early railfan photographs that I had taken on location, in downtown west suburban La Grange Illinois. It is a typical overcast winter day in the greater Chicagoland area.

Chicago's Metra commuter rail agency, began operations in 1984.
This is an early Metra train with equipment from the Burlington Northern Railroad. This is a westbound local enroute to Aurora Illinois, arriving at the La Grange Road station.

Those lineside railroad telephone poles are long gone today.
