Austin Avenue
Power from just about any Class I can often be seen on the easternmost end of UP's Geneva Sub, as run-through traffic from foreign roads makes its way towards Proviso Yard. Here at Austin Avenue, (the boundary between Chicago and Oak Park in this area) a BNSF Dash-9 on the point of an NS freight sits while the evening Metra rush is underway. Visible in the far distance is the sparkling Chicago skyline and an approaching CTA Green Line train.
