One of My favorite places to visit for some occasional railfan photography, is the Metra commuter rail station in west suburban River Forest Illinois. This European Chalet style train station, is located along the Metra / Union Pacific west line from Chicago to Elburn Illinois, formerly the Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad.
It is located between the suburban villages of Oak Park on the east, and Maywood on the west. The two story depot is located along the east side of Thatcher Avenue between Lake Street on the north, and Madison Street to the south. There are occasional Union Pacific freight trains passing through here, plus daily Metra commuter rail trains as well.
