Waiting for the next train
Title:  Waiting for the next train
Description:  CNW would use open tracks to hold outbound power. When the terminal switcher shoved the trains in, the waiting power would move to the correct track and couple on as the train loaded. This E unit is awaiting its turn to head to the suburbs.

Rolling in
Title:  Rolling in
Description:  A westbound commuter train roll into Park Ridge behind one of those hard to identify E units. This was my first trip to Chicago, and early in my railfan photo career. I was still working with a 110 instamatic most of the time(hey, ya gotta start somewhere) and some of the shots are not exactly worthy of JJ Young, but still some interesting stuff that is outweighed by the so so technical quality.
