Wednesday is here, and time to share our photos for the Midweek Photos Thread. DSC_0729

After my train trip to Chicago, I shot some of the action at Joliet.  This Metra unit was the return power to Joliet from Chicago.  Steam locomotive no, 765 was at the other end of the train.

Amtrak still runs through Joliet. Although there is a newer station used by both Amtrak and Metra, the historic one still stands.

It is simply gorgeous.  Sort of "plain" compared to other stations, but nicely ornate.

There is a brewery inside the station now, and possibly a police station.  I could not quite figure it out.  No police cars were around, and being mid afternoon on a Saturday, I would expect a brewery to be busier.

My friends and I drove to a parking lot near the edge of Joliet to this spot to catch the afternoon run of the Joliet Rocket.

Off they go.  Now, it's your turn to add a few pics to the thread.  Since it is October, the Fall foliage trains are picking up.  I hope you have a chance to ride or chase some of them.  Enjoy the Weekend!  Talk to you next week.
