My vacation back to my hometown, chicago
Posted by Mr. LMD on Thursday, July 5, 2012 10:32 PM

I recently returned home today in indiana after visiting my hometown Chicago. While there, I FOUND went to the Chicago Union Station and was able to take pictures of one of the Chicago Metra MP36PH-3S in person. It look HUGE and the pictures I took cannot do that locomotive justice 

 

Also, I saw the Metra BNSF and I amtrak coach yard and building and was trying to take pictures but could not get my phone in position (sucks i know), but next time I will have those photos.

 

After collecting the metra brochures, I plan to get photos of the chicago great western terminal, lasalle, and the Randolph (the IC electric former line which I used to ride) Metra station.


I will post a link to the union station and metra photo album on here instead of posting all of the pictures which might slow or crash some computers.
