I have to add another 2 places to watch trains at: 1) is in West Chicago where the local metras come in and others go through there all day long. It also has a crossing with the E.J.& E. There are said to be about 15 "J's" through there everyday, but the other trains have close to 150 runs a day. 2) the other one is in Downers Grove where the BNSF crosses over the top of the IHB. There is a switch area there where trains from the IHB deliver to The BNSF. In the old days of being a switchtender, I remember it when they called that the C.B. & Q. and there were trains going and coming back from...! <br />So add these two to the other four. <br /> <br />Make that three more: out in Portage, Indiana there is another crossing of the CSX and IHB. The trains through there are running fast and smooth, and occasionally you will see a CSX or NS come from one line and go around the bend toward the IHB. So there are 3 more places that I have discovered. <br /> <br />
