Your favorite place to rail fan...

Boone Iowa is a great place to watch trains. In the 80's when I grew up in iowa I would go down to the Boone yard and watch trains.

My bedroom. Where its always the 1950s.

I don't actively seek real modern freight trains.

Depot Street in Berea, Ohio. Mainlines of the CSX and NS converge in this area. According to the Plain Dealer, approximately 120 to 140 trains pass through this region per day.

Agreed--I've picked up some new places to go from this thread. Though Horseshoe Curve will always be my nostalgic favorite.
