An inbound 1970's era Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad (Chicago area) commuter train in H.O Scale.

 

I took this photograph recently, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club, located at 255 Augusta Street in west suburban Oak Park Illinois.

       During the 1970's prior to the RTA takeover of Rock Island's commuter operations in 1978,
       these red bi leval commuter trains, provided commuter rail transportation for many south
       and far southwest suburban commuters in the geater Chicagoland area between downtown
       Chicago to the city of Joliet Illinois.
