2 TRAIN MEET!!! UP Coal Drag and CP Manifest! Glenview, IL

[Andrewsaxamophone]

How active, freight wise, would you put this line? Like, on a guess, how many freights a day would pass through Glenview?

[mt90945557]

This line sees about 30-40 frieghts per day (15-20 UP's and 15-25 CP). It goes dead during rush hour because this line goes through Deval. The UP Northwest line clogs up the entire junction limiting the amount of traffic on this line. Traffic is heaviest on weekdays outside of rush hour. It's a pretty active line though and an hour rarely passes by without a train except during rush hour. You should come check this place out.

Is this by Techny road?

[mt90945557]

Yes.

[Andrewsaxamophone]

So, then, this is the part of the line where the CP and UP share, before the CP splits off, right?

[mt90945557]

yep. The connector track begins about a half mile from where I was.

[Andrewsaxamophone]

Ok, gotcha. I was actually really close to that spot today. I had to get my license in Deerfield (long story) and caught two Metra's on the C&M sub.
