Notice; the the passenger trains at the College Ave. stop run English style in their directions. Not so at the Franklin Park stop, which run American style directionally.
@DVCourt88 You are correct. The reason being I believe is because when the UP line (College Ave.) was first constructed, there were platforms built only on one side of the tracks, so it was much easier to run the trains English style.
You Know its dumb that at :51 the lady in the pink is takeing her precious time getting across the tracks and the train is blowing like a maniac. (Stupid people)
I saw the olympic units pulling a freight train through DeKalb about a week ago and it stopped in the middle of the crossing right in front of me. Sadly, I didn't have my camera with me, I'm glad you got a shot of it.

Thanks Adam! I also liked that engine. It looked like it was in great shape and had a pretty friendly crew.
