Here is the 811 pulling into Palos Park at 11:20 AM from Chicago on the Southwest Service line. Funny thing is that no one got on or off. (Kind of a useless stop during the day, good for some I guess) One person actually got off and crossed the tracks at 2:15 (look at the rear of the train). I situated the camera to take the shot from the lightpost that is furthest south ie: closest to the 123rd street bridge using the concrete base for the light pole as one. It was windy today!
Hope you like it!

Nice catch. Might want to check the time however; there is no train at 10:22 in Palos. Looks to be train #811, scheduled to arrive at Palos at 11:20a.

I know what I did, when I pulled out the list-o-times I glanced over the wrong one!
Thats correct for the Manhattan to Chicago route but not the Chicago to Manhattan which is what the train is doing. Once again, Thanks for pointing that out.

I actualy could have even oput it on the other track because further down the line it was under construction. But, I didn't want to get it trouble with the railroad so the light pole did just fine for this shot I thought! :)
