A Union Pacific EMD GP 15 idling at the Metra California Avenue coach yard. Chicago Illinois. October 2006.

I took this photograph on a beautiful Indian Summer -Autum morning back in October of 2006.

This Union Pacific Railroad late 1970's era EMD GP 15 light roadswitcher used for local freights and terminal switching operations today by the Union Pacific Railroad, is viewed idling just east of the Metra's former Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad commuter coach yard facility at North California Avenue in Chicago.

This photograph was taken from the adjacent Metra Western Avenue commuter rail station on the former Milwaukee Road line near North Grand Avenue.
