UPY 728 is on the point of a rare "freight" movement southbound on UP's Kenosha Sub in Chicago today. The Kenosha Sub is typically a Metra-only operation, known as the "UP North" line in Metra parlance. In tow behind this GP15-1 are 5 or 6 brand new stainless steel Metra coaches, just built in Milwaukee and being delivered to Metra in downtown Chicago, plus UPY 729 pushing on the rear. This train was shot at MP5 on the Kenosha Sub, which is Addison St. in Chicago (Wrigley Field is exactly 7 blocks behind the engine). Note the aircraft high above lining up for a landing at O'Hare airport. This scene was shot from my living room window.
