God this crossing sucks. It's impossible with the development around to grade separate this Intersection. Now thanks to CN, the quadrupled traffic is really making things fun.
fyi; for emergency vehicles and others to navigate thru town vs rail road traffic clogging the road ways, there are four overpasses in this town for use to get from one part to the other; one in town, one east of town, one south and one west;
Was there 4-4-10, saw lots of UP; saw 2 CN's over old EJ&"E track. Basicbill1 has posted a nice one he shot while I was there. Also saw a couple of Metras. It was Easter morning.
If I were Union Pacific I would have seen if there was a crossing free area big enough to hold the train and kept it there but then again it's Chicago's suburbs and they are packed with railroad crossings.
As much as I love trains I'd probably get a little upset if I had to allow 40 minutes extra to drive across town just in case something like the ethanol train ambles slowly through.
