Easter train # 3; "Abuela wants a New York strip!" Out the window at the Harlem Ave, Berwyn stop, I observed a few Mexican families, dressed to the nines, filtering in and out of Connie's Restaurant, which always advertises "NY strips steaks." In this case, the family was slowly escorting an elderly lady in to dine.

Easter train #2; rare sighting of an Indiana Harbor engine in the Cicero yards.

Easter train #1; nice skyline view from 18th St.

Biff's Bar Union Station #4; bar or motel?
