Chicago Metra: Wheaton, IL




Title:
Chicago Metra: Wheaton, IL

Description:
Its Thursday July 9th 2009 and Im in Wheaton, Illinois. I was in Illinois visiting some friends and family and managed to get a little time to grab some footage by the tracks. I was able to capture two westbound Metra passenger trains followed closely by a group of Union Pacific MOW equipment. A westbound Union Pacific empty coal train makes an appearance as well as an eastbound Metra passenger train. So sit back, enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
