Is this the "race-track"..?... Not exactly sure that I have my terminology right. Smokes, holy... one each. They really move some traffic there. The double-stacks, and then the "dorm" cars of the Metra... Just endless, high volume, traffic of every description. Now, I used to live in Chicago, so I should be used to rail traffic, but I'm not now... Live in New Hampshire, now... A tranquil, rural, halcyon place, with NO commuter rail and only a rare CSX freight. You get more traffic at this LaGrange RR-Xing in an afternoon, than we get in a year, in NH... Which, of course, is why I subscribe to this YT-channel... Pete C., in NH
