A (nearly) three way meet! Metra 213 shoves a train toward Chicago as Metra 194 slows to a stop on the far track. If you look closely under 213’s green signal, you can see the headlight of an oncoming BNSF coal train on the middle track.
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).
