Crystal Lake, IL CNW (Metra) Station July 2003 |
| Description: |
As Of July 2003 Before Remodeling Work completed in January 2006. Fortunately remodeling has left the outward appearance much as built in 1914. Once there was a leg of a WYE through the platform in front of the operators bay and a siding behind the foreground platform. View is to the South with Chicago to the Left and Harvard to the Right. Trains still run Left Handed since this is the CNW's Former Wisconsin Division. |
