Description This didnt turn out exactly how I thought it would but I think its ok.

The Metra engine is one of the last that were built in here in La Grange in the early 90's. All new engines built by EMD are from Canada now.

I miss riding behind the Winnebagos, although I only ever did so a few times when I was visiting my grandparents in Western Springs and LaGrange later on. When I lived in Chicagoland, I rode in Pullmans behind F40s on the NW line.

That messed with my head for a second -- there's a LaGrange, Indiana, about 20 miles from here, and they don't have any trucks that look like that, so I'm glad you posted what state it's from!

I've collected a bunch of photos from other Albion Fire Departments -- there are, I think, 27 Albions in the United States. I guess we just ran out of names!
