Holy smokes! I remember some Amtrak F40s put on some blueish-white smoke shows, but nothing this dark.

Two Metra trains throttle up out of CUS during the evening rush.

Metra 201 departs out of Westmont with a inbound train.

Metra 197 leads a outbound train past the soon to be replaced CB&Q searchlights at West Eola.

Metra 192 pushes a inbound deadhead past LaVergne.

An outbound suburban departs Chicago Union Station as it heads towards Aurora IL.

Metra 195 departs out of Downers Grove Main Street with a outbound train.

Metra 212 belches some smoke while racing west through Westmont with a outbound express train.

Metra 186 ducks under Eola Road with a inbound train to Chicago.

Metra 201 ducks under the CB&Q signal bridge at East Eola, one of the last left on the racetrack. It's not long for this world, as its replacement is being assembled off to the left side.

Metra 192 departs Westmont with a outbound, ducking under the new and old signal bridges. The classic CB&Q signal bridge is now nothing more than a memory.

Metra 189 leads a outbound express train through Western Springs.

An outbound suburban tears through LaGrange Road Metra after a freak downpour. Note the rainbow.
