Lining the switch

Let me give you another example, here in northwest IL, the Metra commuter rail agency runs a train during the week from McHenry, which is served by a spur off the main line (that used to be part of a bigger wye - but that's another story). The location is named Crystal Lake Junction and it about milepost 42 or so on the UP northwest line into Chicago. Every weekday morning, a roving brakeman from the UP drives out to the little hut by the switch before the train is due, unlocks the hut, moves the switch, and resets it after the train goes by. <br /> <br />Doug Murphy
