Metra departs Chicago Union Station making its way toward the BNSF's Chicago Sub for a trip out to Aurora, as an Amtrak SW1200R shuffles around some roadrailers.
This Metra backs into CUS to load passengers.
The new meets the old here twice as a new MP36 and an older F40PH-2 pass under the old CB&Q and the new BNSF signal bridges.
Metra 406 enters Naperville leading F40 184 and an 8-car 1283.
Still I wonder, who'll stop the rain....
From the personal pre-creativity archives comes this shot of a shovelnose and that thing on #3 track.
184 is behind 406....shame though it is.
The color outage continues with 1309... someone call Comcast...
Metra: It's Comcastic! Oops, wait a minute. Never mind.
Flying under the signal bridge is 406 and 197.
406 with 182.
406 is shown here posing as both a real locomotive and with its train. Cheap ISO 400 negative film, perhaps the most underrated medium I have ever used, brings you this image.
