I grew up with the Q in the western 'burbs. As a kid I remember the very end of steam, the Zephyrs, early F3s, then the mergers and ever changing colors. <br /> <br />One of my favorite train-watching spots on this line is the Lisle trackside commuter parking lot just east of the new village hall. It's rarely full, even on weekdays and if you park just right you can see all the way from Belmont to College Road. This is right on the big S-curve, plus there's a slight grade Eastbound. If they hold a Coal train at College Rd., then clear it the SD70MACs make one heck of a loto f noise coming uphill. <br /> <br />I also have to agree with Trains about Joliet. It's real interesting these days. There's more warbonets than on the BNSF racetrack and the UP line gets a nicer mix of UP/SP units than onthe Northwestern West line.. CN goes thru occasionally as well.
