QUOTE: Originally posted by eolafan Y'all come on out to the BNSF Eola (Aurora) yard...plenty of action with freight, METRA and Amtrak all day and most of the night...lots of both switching and mainline action with freights and passenger doing over 60 per through here...good scanner chatter most of the time. Come on out and find out why so many of us can be found there on a Saturday afternoon at about Amtrak time (anywhere between 1:30 and 5:00 p.m.). The best spot is the McClure Road crossing on the South side of the main.

QUOTE: Originally posted by CShaveRR That "Proviso" place sounds interesting, too. Might have to try that sometime! [;)] Seriously, in regard to Proviso, I feel that you can see most of the same things in Elmhurst that you can from the Berkeley platform (you'd miss out on a few transfer runs, and some intermodal and industrial switching, but you'd gain all of the coal trains and inbound manifests). The Mannheim bridge is pretty good, if you have binoculars and telephotos to see the diesel ramp, and if you get there by scoot (Bellwood). I wouldn't want to park anywhere near either end of that bridge.
