Album Info:I went back to one of my favorite spots today, the Lavergne Metra Station at Ridgeland Ave along the BNSF racetrack. I stopped at BRC's Harlem Ave Wye first and also took a run over to Cicero Yard's engine facilities which is very close to Lavergne. All pics in this album were taken between 12:30pm and 4pm CST.
