Photo by Brenden Albert. Sporting a rather short consist, Metra's "State of Illinois" locomotive, #402, sits silently at the beautiful Tinley Park 80th Avenue station while camera crews and photographers gather around to film a commercial with the train and crew. This set would later return to the Joliet coach yards in the pouring rain. This engine was recently rebuilt and repainted as a "Thank you" gesture to the state of Illinois for keeping Metra going during the ongoing Covid-19 crisis and has been jumping around between the Rock Island District and Milwaukee District lines throughout the past few months.
