That's on the [Chicago] Metra Rock Island district, on "Beverly Branch" at 89th and Ashland Avenue (as you kind of hear her say) and about four blocks west of the Brainerd station. The early 80s is probably an accurate assumption, as the cars in the train are still painted in Rock Island colors, and the F40PH is in RTA colors (pre-Metra, roughly from 1978-1984).
