Western Avenue Metra commuter rail station. Chicago Illinois USA. December 2006.
A westbound Metra commuter train stops for passengers at the Metra Western Avenue station on Chicago's near northside. This train is bound for the Elgin Illinois / Big Timber road station. The diesel locomotive is an MP-36 Ph built by Motive Power Industries of Boise Idaho USA. These are Metra's "Newest" diesel locomotives. They had replaced the old EMD F-40C models that were built in 1974 and used exclusively on this former Milwaukee Road line.
