Commuters and Clouds

I seem to be on a real commuter railroad kick lately, with a Metra shot posted last time, but still, I couldn’t pass this one up. With more lake effect snow clouds hanging low over Lake Michigan, and a strategically placed extra line of clouds hanging over the inner suburbs of Chicago, the last light of a cold January day paints the sky a pinkish hue as a rush hour Metra train speeds it’s commuters home for the evening. This view of the BNSF mainline and the Chicago skyline is seen from the Cicero, IL Metra stop.

As always, give it a click to get the full 1024px goodness.
