This weekend I had the honour of attending CRPA's annual conference in Lake Forest as one of three docent scholars. Prior to the event and in between presentations, I made a point of getting trackside. While the weather was less than favourable, the sky did open on a few occasions allowing for some nice storm lighting. For instance, the sun briefly popped out from behind the clouds as this Metra train arrived at the photogenic La Grange Station. I would like to extend a special thanks to CRPA for their generosity and hospitality, as well as Jonathan Lee and John Ryan for showing me around!
