Viewing Album:  03/31/07: Elmhurst, IL (Thunder in the sky and on the rails)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:3/31/2007 - 3/31/2007
Album Info:Another cloudy but mild spring Saturday afternoon takes me to Elmhurst for the first time. This is really a great spot for trainwatching, bucolic suburban setting, plenty of parking and amenities and an extremely busy triple track mainline. UP kept busy with a ton of trains as well as several Metras coming and going from the station at York Street. A brief thunderstorm dampened things a bit, but otherwise it was a good day.
