I took this photo around sunset one evening in November of 2006. It is the evening rush hour commuting period in the city of Chicago Illinois, as a speeding westbound Metra / Union Pacific west line train enroute to Elburn Illinois, passes underneath the Belt Railway of Chicago flyover junction at West Kinzie Street and North Kenton Avenue on Chicago's westside.

I took this photo toward the end of the day on a May 1990 fantrip charter over the former Illinois Bentral electrified commuter rail lines out of Chicago Illinois. I don't recall what commuter station location this was, but We had several photo opportunities this day.
