Lombard is pretty devoid of trees along the right-of-way. If you want wide panoramic shots try St Charles Road just east of Main Street. The commuter depot is good too. <br /> <br />For up close or head-on shots try Crescent where it crosses the tracks. Cescent goes south from St. Charles Rd about a mile west of Main Street. There's a bar with a parking lot right at the crossing. About a mile west along the line is the locomotive holding area where they hold inbound freights until they can run them in without blocking the grade crossings. You can get right next to any locos stopped tthere. <br /> <br />There's a good mix of power on the line these days. Everything from the latest heavy EMD's to the old Northwestern SD40's with the bell on the nose, to Geep B-units. Most have been repainted.
