Album Info:Crystal Lake is one of those idyllic small towns where the classic pace of railroading lives on today! There's a station in the middle of it, right next to the downtown, and several METRA trains stop there each day on their way to and from Chicago. Normally you have to pay to park at the station, but on weekends, parking is free, and there are plenty of spots. The perfect place to watch trains, especially on this wonderful fall afternoon! Enjoy!
