Metra Rock Island from New Lenox to Chicago and Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds game 08/23/18

Back in early June my girlfriend and I went to a fundraiser for her cousins daughter and won Cubs tickets in the raffle. We took the Metra Rock Island from New Lenox, IL to LaSalle Street Station in Chicago and took the CTA Red Line from Jackson and State to Addison which is the Wrigley Field stop. Much of the ride to Chicago is featured with stops in Mokena, Mokena-Hickory Creek, Tinley Park 80th Av, Tinley Park Oak Park Ave, Oak Forest, Midlothian, Blue Island, and 35th Street (White Sox). Unfortunately I couldn't get the CTA ride as it was full and we were standing. Plenty of shots around Wrigley Field for the Cubs vs Reds with the Cubs winning 7-1 and Cole Hamels pitching a complete game. I will add more information later when I have time.
