I took this photo at work one day in May of 2007. Seen here arriving just around noon, is a northbound Metra commuter rail train enroute to Fox Lake Illinois. This line is a former Milwaukee Road mainline. The Edgebrook station, is on the far northwest side of Chicago, and is located near the intersections of Devon, Caldwell, Central and Lehigh Avenues. This outpost community on the Chicago city limits, is located near the towns of Niles and Skokie Illinois. Edgebrook is a pleasant upscale community.Wednesday, May 30, 2007

Hi there!
Thank You for the nice E-mail this morning. I take it that You are a former Chicagoan these days.
I am from the near southwest side of Chicago Myself. I grew up in Little Village / west 26th Street and had spent much time in Brighton Park (Archer Avenue.)
Mount Greenwood (west 111th Street)
Berwyn -La Grange and many other parts around town.
I have been a lifelong railfan
and transportation enthusiast.
I am happy that You enjoy My page.
Thank You.
Eddie.
