Crawling through Fox Lake
With the Metra parking lot empty in the background and a light snowfall in the air, WSOR T001 heads west through town a little before midnight ahead of the second to last outbound Metra train from Chicago. This is the end of the line these days for commuter service on the former Milwaukee Road "J Line" from Rondout to Janesville.
The red signal above the second car in the train marks the new end of signaled territory. CTC and a new siding at Libertyville are part of the upgrades completed so far on the 17 miles Metra operates west of Rondout.
