Remarks & Notes 
A CNW "Scoot" commuter train rolls through Deval Tower which protects CNW and Soo Line's crossing on the northwest side of Chicago. This train is on the northwest line, coming into Des Plaines from Harvard, IL. While yellow and green dominated in 1979, hints of RTA blue was on the horizon, with Metra to follow.
