As the sun nears the horizon, Metra train 1241 passes through Brookfield, Illinois, as it hustles commuters from their jobs in downtown Chicago to the suburbs between the city and Aurora. Metra F40PH 125 is on the point, pulling six bilevel commuter cars. And, yes, the signal on the siding is really that crooked! (November 8, 2018)
Chicago's huge commuter rail system incorporates routes previously operated by Chicago & Northwestern, Milwaukee Road, Burlington, Illinois Centrak, Rock Island, Gulf Mobile & Ohio and Wabash (N&W).
