I took this photo in early September of 2007. Located just south of and adjacent to Irving Park Road / Illinois U.S Route # 19 in northwest suburban Wood Dale Illinois, is this commuter rail station along the Canadian Pacific -ex Milwaukee Road mainline to Elgin Illinois. Untill approximately 1954, the Milwaukee Road utilized passenger steam locomotives and heavyweight 1920's era coaches in daily commuter service on this line. The heavyweight coaches continued in daily service, untill replaced by modern Bi Leval cab control gallery commuter cars in 1960. Wood Dale is a pleasant and upscale community located just west of Bensenville Illinois, and is in close proximity geograpically to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, and convenient shopping.Thursday, January 24, 2008
