As it does, Metra train 1245 makes its stop in Brookfield, Illinois, as it makes its daily (well, on weekdays) trip hauling weary workers from their jobs in downtown Chicago to the suburbs between the city and Aurora. Metra F40PHM-2 212 leads the train, pulling eleven bilevel commuter cars. (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).
