BN Eunits at Aurora, Ill yard - July 1991.

A few of the many E units at the "new" Aurora yard - after the evening commuter rush awaiting the morning runs back to Chicago.
The train on the right with two Eunits was the only one I saw with more than one unit. It went to Chicago in the morning and came back with the evening rush - anyone know why this particular train had two E's? - not that I was complaining !
