Lake Street (Union Station) Chicago (7th Nov. 2007)

21st November 2007

Came across this railway scene while walking around Chicago on my last full day there, on the 7th of November, 2007.

Lake Street is on the lower line out of Union Station northwards. The upper mainline is at the end of the street about 200 yards away. The Metra trains seen here are possibly on the Aurora service that I took to La Grange Road station a couple of days before.

The tain disappears into the depths of Union Station, with the Seers Tower in the far background 654x981 009Metra_421__d__Entering_Union_Station__Chicago.jpg	The older Amtrak loco is on the rear of the express 654x981 003AmtrackRearLoco__Lake_Street__Chicago_.jpg	One of the newer Metra locomotives No. 421 on the rear of an incoming train 681x454 007Metra_421__b__Entering_Union_Station__Chicago.jpg	One of the newer Metra locomotives No. 421 on the rear of an incoming train 681x454 008Metra_421__c__Entering_Union_Station__Chicago.jpg
