Silent digital video: Westbound Metra empty commuter coach train passing the Western Avenue station. Chicago Illinois. December 2007. a video by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I photographed this silent digital video with my old camera one snowy morning, back in December of 2007.
We are on location at the former Milwaukee Road Metra commuter rail station at Western Avenue. Seen across from the station during the morning snowstorm, is a slow moving Metra commuter train, heading to the nearby Metra / Union Pacific coach yard and maintenance facility at North California Avenue.
In past years, the Western Avenue station was a great place to view commuter trains from the Milwaukee Road, and the neighboring Chicago & NorthWestern railroads. Both of these railroads had coach yard and maintenance facilities across the tracks from each other,which are operated today by Chicago's Metra commuter rail agency.
