Digital Live Sound Video: Northbound CTA Skokie Swift train crossing Oakton Street. Skokie Illinois. Late September 2009.

I photographed this digital live sound video in late September of 2009.

We are facing east at the Oakton Street CTA Yellow line railroad crossing in north suburban Skokie Illinois. Seen here on an overcast evening around dusk, is a northbound Chicago Transit Authority yellow line / Skokie Swift route rapid transit train heading to the nearby Dempster Street terminal.

Prior to January of 1963, this was the Skokie Valley Mainline of the defunct Chicago, North Shore And Milwaukee electric interurban railroad.
