Only disappointment is theres hardly freight traffic, I'd be lucky to see a freight train in the day time now. It's mostly nothing but metra

[@carmelosantana1510]

Yes but cp473 passes there 3:00pm-4:30pm Daily manifest

[@CombatBuckee]

@@carmelosantana1510 yes but besides the one MAYBE two trains a day on this line you’d have to basically be camped by this line all day to see em. There’s been talk amongst actual knowledgeable people that KCS would highly benefit from utilizing this line as it would gain service from the quad city area as well as a way to have business in Chicagoland as they could then utilize Bensenville yard intermodal terminal. I see from a business perspective and wonder why it hasn’t happened yet
