Westbound Metra express commuter train. Cicero Illinois. September 2007.





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

We are on location at the Metra commuter flagstop depot that serves west suburban Cicero Illinois. Located on South Cicero Avenue between West 26th Street and South Ogden Avenue / Illinois U.S Route # 34 -aka Old U.S Route # 66, this depot was known in recent past years as the Cicero Avenue station.

This is a very active location for photographing trains during the evening rush hour. However, please stand back on the platform behind the line, as many Metra express trains come zipping through here at any given time. Safety first.
