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.
