Leanin into the curve
"Spring: Now arriving on track one."
Double headed express thru on main 2 with its first stop comong at Hinsdale.
The evening dinky rush in full swing as this one heads west.
Passengers board the 1316 bound for Chicago on this cool Spring Break week.
198 pushes her train past the coach yard into CUS.
Metra 211 sits it's MARS light on while it prepares to head back west, to Elgin.
Metra 190 throttles up heading for the Aurora Transportation Center as he flies by McClure Road, shooting out a puff of black smoke.
Metra 189 throttles up out of La Grange and heads for its next stop in Brookfield.
A Metra light power move signifies the evening rush is near as three engines coast back into the coach yard to find their trains.
A normal Metra in late afternoon light. I thought the center beam from E249's train added something to the shot.
I was hoping for a freight, but this is better than nothing. That autorack in the background is stuck here until Cicero cleares up and they send out power to get it.
Bonus points if you spot the radio tower and signal bridge!
