When I was over from the UK last year I checked in the police office at LaSelle St and was told it was fine to take pictures on Metra property with all the usual disclaimers (keep away from track, don't cause obstructions etc etc...) In a round about way he also said he would prefer me not to take pictures as I could be concieved to be acting in a suspicious manner and the police would be obliged to investigate any reports as such. In other words, taking pictures is fine but please don't as we have to investigate if anybody reports it. I took some pictures but nobody reported me (there again LaSelle St is pretty deserted on a Sunday morning). I've since taken pictures at a lot of Metra stations and never had any problems.
