Sorry about the shakiness.. just trying out my furthest possible digital zoom here, with no way to steady the camera.
Metra Milwaukee District-North Line train #2134, running only from Grayslake and not the line's terminus of Fox Lake, comes downgrade and arrives at Morton Grove. The former Milwaukee Road line in this area has many low, rolling slopes, and though my camera's 40x digital zoom makes those hills appear to be very significant grades, they are not. (they could be for a very long freight, but this line sees few freights. It is also host to Amtrak's Hiawatha Service to Milwaukee, and the Empire Builder to Seattle and Portland.)
