Pandemic Impact

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 6 April 2020 in Transportation and Portfolio.

Metra trains sit idle at the Waukegan train station. Metra, the main commuter rail line that serves all of the major suburbs of Chicago, cut its schedule by as much as 80% in response to the stay at home order issued by Illinois Governor Pritzker.

Such a neat row. A rare sight no doubt. Excellent capture and treatment. These engines remind me of some of Britain's early ones such as the 10000 and the Deltic diesels
