Monday MAC Triple Pack - a photo on Flickriver

            On my way up to grab dinner tonight, I stopped off in Roselle to grab a pair of back to back westbound Metras on the Milwaukee West line. 

In the case of the second one seen here, its arrival was preceded by an inbound on Main 2. The doubleheaded outbound is train no. 2235, which runs express from Western Ave. to Roselle, while the inbound is the 2246. The express nature of the 2235 typically earns it the double-header treatment.

As this was shaping up, I was hoping that the meet would happen closer to my location (CPZ Starbucks, lol), but ya take what you can get. For the record, the three units seen here are the METX 520, 501, and 523.
