Viewing Album: 07/07/07: Hinsdale, IL (Lucky 7 Day at the Metra Station)

By:	Scott Malec
Dates:	7/7/2007 - 7/7/2007
Album Info:	I went to the Hinsdale Metra Station for the first time today, and I found it to be very similar to Elmhurst. Picturesque setting in a downtown area, easily accessible commuter station, and plenty of action in the form of Metra commuter trains and fast moving BNSF freights. All pics in this album were taken between 1:15pm and 4:30pm CST.
