Remarks & Notes

It's afternoon rush hour on the BN race track. I have just gotten off a 19 minute ride from Chicago Union Station to La Grange Rd. On this spring-like Febraury day I had my camera and decided to catch a couple outbound BN commuter runs. Here BN 9924 races through La Grange at track speed, owning the center main with a non-stop express that will cross over west of La Grange to get commuters home further out toward Aurora.
