I Like pretty much anywhere along the ex-conrail Chicago line. Ive gone through Waterloo but never really stoped there. I visit Butler, a few miles east of there where the Norfolk Southern Wabash main crosses. Im sure you already knew that, but thats where ive spent countless nights watching Conrail piggybacks roar through at 60 (amtrak 80) over the diamonds. This is one of a few spots i know where trains go full speed over diamonds. I visit there less and less with conrail gone. I spend most time closer to chicago around Porter junction, Burns Harbor, Miller and Willow Creek Indiana so i can view both NS and CSX without going to far into Chicagos rough parts even though the trains run slower through Willow Creek (Portage). I like seeing which railroad put on the better show. As for me, its railroad action at its best.
