Does anyone know where the best frieght action is on these lines? <br />The Union Pacific North Commuter Line <br />The Union Pacific Northwest Commuter Line <br />The Milwaukee Distric North Commuter Line <br /> <br />Ive seen 2 coal trains on the Northwest line in the last seven years, one at mayfair the other at Nagle Ave. And many MOW trains at Mayfair using the Single track line Paralell to Cicero Ave. Is this single track line in use still? <br /> <br />This one website says there are 2 unit coal trains on the UP-N but it doesnt say where....... <br /> <br />Ive seen 10 frieghts on the MD-N at Mayfair in seven years. One being powered by two Soo Geep's. People say north of Northbrook there is a lot of action. Also on an old Pentrex tape, Todays Chicago Railroads 1993, they filmmed at Edgebrook and a Train powered by Two F-units went through town. They said the railroad was the Calumet and Southern. Any info on this?
