Ok, BNSF LaGrange, i have some answers. i grew up in Mt. Prospect and recently moved to NW side of Chicago (3 blocks from MD-N Grayland Station) so this area is my specialty. See if i can help. <br />#1 - The UP Cragin line only operates from Mayfair about a mile south, serves one maybe two industries. When the one car train does runs its usaully in mid-morning. <br />#4 - Like CNW1995 said the "sandman" which runs at night. i know Sat. mornings around 6:00 a train departs Chicago Ave Yard for Proviso. And 2 auto trains each way between Proviso and Janesville. <br />#5 - That CP train is #183, Bensinville to Twin Cities intermodal daily. <br />#6 - No, WSOR here at Mayfair, NB 11:00p & SB 1:30a. On slow days the NB may go thru here as early as 7:30p. <br />#7 - A few years back the SB came thru W. Chicago Between 8-9:00a. Not sure now. <br />#8 - Yes, the EB, train MNABE may still pass B17 at 9-11:00a. <br />#13 - Belive it switches on Tues. & Thurs. <br />#14 - Yes, WC is still fairly common. DMIR i wish. But a few IC units have been popping up. <br />Hope this helps.
