I would have never expected to catch a Cascades unit leading the Illinois Zephyr.

An express train is quickly catching up to a train slowing for a stop at the Lisle commuter station. The signal on the right track is green which is for an Amtrak train that will blast past liter... (more)

Note the number boards on the left side, "883" is upside down.

M BRCGAL1 26 didn't have anything that special. M BRCGAL5 26, how ever, has a cool consist. NS D-9 on the point, Warbonnet SD75M second out, and a BNSF H1 D-9 third.

AMTK 380 has two P42's on it today; 158 & 140.

This was certainly a treat! CN 8006 and EMDX 9043 fly through Tree Brow with the "Q" Portland to Chicago."

This was a suprise! I wasn't expecting a coal train to pass through let alone have a CEFX SD9043MAC (My first CEFX SD90) second out!

Eastbound Metra train 1320 departs Lisle on it's trip to Chicago with an F40 pushing on the rear.

Another in the parade of dinkies rounds the bend coming into Lisle.

The NSINTW speeds east down the BNSF.

A very late Pasco train passes the signal box for the wayside signal shown on the left

I knew a coal train was coming, but it wasn't until the last second that I saw it rounding the corner, I was still biking as I took this shot.

The Metra races out of the storms.
