Westbound Metra express. Elmwood Park IL. Dec 2011.

I photographed this digital live sound video recently, back in late December of 2011.

A westbound Metra express commuter train, approaches and crosses the diagonal railroad crossing on Grand Avenue, in northwest suburban Elmwood Park Illinois.

Trains operate on a speed restriction through here, due to many railroad grade crossing accidents on Grand avenue in recent years past. Some quiete spectacular or unfortunately fatal.
