Railroad Crossing - Redux
Railroad Crossing - Redux

Roughly seven months ago, when I had first gotten my drone, I attempted a shot of Amtrak 203, the Operation Lifesaver unit, leading the westbound California Zephyr in Naperville, IL as the unit sat on the bridge over Washington Street.

Fast forward to today and I wanted to try a similar idea, this time with a little more pizzazz - a bigger road! Here the unit leads the inbound Southwest Chief across I-294 (under heavy construction) as it approaches the Western Springs Metra station, which it will pass without stopping. In roughly 20 minutes it will be sitting inside Union Station in downtown Chicago.
