I grew up in Hometown, IL and Oak Lawn, IL. My home in Hometown had its backyard butt right up to the RR tracks that now comprise the Metra SouthWest Service line (ex-Wabash/NW/now NS leased to Metra). The 0630 Metra trains were my alarm clock, and I remember hanging out at the railroad crossing off of Southwest Hwy waiting for the evening Metra trains. My family moved to Oak Lawn when I was 8, and there were no railroads nearby, but you could sure hear the horns. The closest lines were the IHB/CSX line that ran right past my high school, HL Richards High, plus the Metra SWS line further down the road. Boy, that brings back some great memories... <br /> <br />Matt
