BNSF / METRA commuter coachyard and repair shop on Canal Street. May 2006.

This location is at Canal Street just south of Roosevelt Rd, just south of Downtown Chicago.
This facility owned by BNSF, maintains the commuter coaches used on the METRA Chicago to Aurora 3 track commuter mainline. Prior to 1970, this was the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad. From 1970 to 1995, it was the Burlington Northern railroad. The Chicago mainline suburban commuter trains are all operated by Metra. In this case, old host railroad names and traditions die hard. There is great corporate pride taken here. Notice the orange BNSF logo to the left of the coach center door.
