Joni, I love chasing trains, so of course I had to click on this one! Great shot...fav/like

Thanks Donna. I'm sitting here on my metra commuter train to work in downtown Chicago. On a late train due to a very long and slow freight train blocking the tracks to the parking lot. My house is the last on the block next to the three track train tracks running both freight and commuter lines. I have a love/hate with trains, but do enjoy photographing them. The line depicted in the Galena photos suffered a severe derailment and fire a few months back right near where these photos were taken. A lot of fuel cars run through there - I'm sure a lot of people would like them gone - as they're shaking my house, I'd sometimes agree ( : But they make cool photos!
