A WB Metra blasts past the peak colors of the season on a reare sunny day-this October has been the cloudiest since 1984 and the rainiest since 1925!
Outbound Suburban departs Downers Grove for Aurora on a high green.
METX 213 leads an express past METX 186 making a local stop at the Highlands station in Hinsdale while another local can be seen behind the 186. The Chicago rush at its finest!
The morning rush is just about over and two trains heads to the coach yard while another rolls into the wash rack just south of Chicago Union Station.
It is hard to correct the horizon on a photo with track this uneven. The handrails on the front of the MARC engines look like a bad modeling job on a 70's area FP45 from Athearn!
WB express overtakes local making station stop at Highlands. This is a weekday rush-hour only stop.
A westbound suburban splits the Q signals in Clarendon Hills.
