Train watching in West St. Louis

[Nations]

I am going to be moving to St. Louis soon and was looking to live in the West County, Kirkwood area.  How is the train watching there and does anyone have any input on the neighborhoods?   (places to avoid living or places that would be great to live in)  I noticed there were some apartment complexes fairly close the tracks near the Chrysler plant if anyone knows anything about them.  (Timberlake apts and Autumn Oaks)  Thanks.

Sounds like your in for a fun time, i know nothing of the area a i am in australia, but i think that living in a complex close to the railway [top floor or as high as you can get within your budget - cos of the noise] is a really good idea if your into trains. The Chrysler building / factory [whatever it is] would be cool to. You'll probably see alot of trucking and freight movement via road.

Good Luck
