Until I moved to the midwest I used to take my son and spend time in and around Port Newark, NJ. There was a hump yard where we could watch lots of switching activities and the northeast corridor lines went by with both passenger and freight activity. Here in the Kansas City area there is a lot of traffic that goes past Union Station just south of downtown. Bob
