I'm glad he could help by pointing out the things that I, as a non-photographer, take for granted. <br /> <br />One clarification. Crescent doesn't cross the tracks; it stays to the north of them. The crossing by Otto's (the tavern with the good parking lot) is Finley Road, a location known to just about every UP crew as a staging point for eastbound trains. West of the crossing, near the I-355 overpass, you'll see signs telling crews where to spot their units when holding there. <br /> <br />I usually like Elizabeth Street because it gives my best view of approaching trains in both directions. You can see down the long (over a mile) straightaway to the east, and down the reverse curve to the west. <br />. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thank you for posting the clarification. Crescent does come into downtown Glen Ellyn north or the tracks so I'm not sure what I was thinking. Probably too busy watching the trains whenever I visit there.[:)]
