Metra 420 Northbrook, IL

Why would anyone visit Chicago in the winter? Perhaps a winter storm would make some interesting pictures? For the second time I made a winter weekend trip to the land of trains and was blessed with a snowstorm followed by crystal clear skies. Dwayne Litzenberger and I met up with my brother Jay and friend Don Kalkman for a weekend of railfanning. I arrived in time to get some commuter action during the Friday snowstorm.

Metra 614 Northbrook, IL

One of the two F40Cs still in service is pushing the 3:32 inbound train. I photographed these units in the early 80s when they were lettered for the NWSMT.

A brace of EMDs leads CP #177 as it enters the Milwuakee District North Line. The end of the train is still on the Techny (A20) connection to the UP New Line Subdivision.
