New Lenox Station move

 

Members of Metra’s Engineering Department watch the old New Lenox Station building move over the Rock Island Line tracks Aug. 15 on its journey to Konow’s Farm in Homer Glen. The New Lenox Historical Society relocated and preserved the 118-year-old structure, which is being replaced as a part of a redevelopment.  During the journey to its new home, Com Ed workers lifted power lines and traffic signals along the route to accommodate the move.
