It's nice to know that I'm not the only railfanner who was born in Joliet. My mom feels paranoid at union station unfortunately.

[@topgearrocks88]

gregs dcc installations it is plus Joliet is only an hour from me so I can go there often

[@XOXFilmStudio]

how did you get in to the station and on the platform? did they let you in???

[@topgearrocks88]

There's a sign that says no access to trains, though you can still go up those stairs off of scott st. There's a lot right across the street that you can park at. I haven't been to the new amtrak platform yet though

+Illinois Valley Railfan (John Walsh) ah OK thanks! will try and do that next time. I was at the new amtrak platform, it's honestly terrible for lighting, except for the morning. and whenever a UP or Amtrak train comes it blocks your view of the chilli for about 10 minutes
