I've been trying to use my wide angle lens more. I think the results have been interesting.

A double header Metra highballs into the sunset with a diverging clear signal up ahead.

Note the horizontally oriented signals on the CNW era signal bridge in the distance. The two signal bridges at each end of the Oak Park station are some of the last such signals on the Geneva sub.

A typically busy afternoon at Marion street. I really wish the kids would stay further away from the yellow line.

A CN transfer heads north, while a GTW geep with a cut of tankers sits on the track leading to Hawthorn yard.

ever wondered what's under a PCC? Now you know.

Luckily for railfans, the Metra coach yard has a public sidewalk going straight through it

This is one of the few places on the Metra system where you can see train sets with their engines oriented inbound.

a Metra scoot carefully backs into the siding after coming of the wye. Note the privately owned barcar on the Metra train sitting in the background.

Taken during the KER carbarn open house. Thanks to Brad for showing us around.
