THIS IS THE Eighth HIDE IN THE SERIES 'WHO'S COLORS'
The Caches in this series are Railroad "Hot Spots" or in other words places to watch trains, or "Railfan" as listed in "Trains Magazine", (visit link)
This location was listed as a Chhicago hot spot by Trains Magazine, a good viewing spot on public property, Honors a "fallen flag" a road that has been pucchased by another the rail road or no longer in business.
"Anywhere on Union Pacific's West Line - The former Overland Route for old-timers - can be a good spot. But locations west of Proviso Yard, UP's hub, have more mainline freight action. One favorite is the pleasant suburb of Elmhurst, just west of Proviso. UP freights go slow here, either accelerating in departure or decelerating for arrival.
If you want more speed, other good spots include curves in Glen Ellyn and Wheaton; the EJ&E diamonds (with tower) in WEST CHICAGO, also known as Turner Junction and the end of a BNSF branch from Aurora; and the Fox River bridge in Geneva. Metra runs about 60 trains each weekday on the West Line.
The Elmhurst Metra station is at York Road in the city's central business district. To drive to Elmhurst, exit from the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290) at St. Charles Road, go west to Poplar, then north to the tracks (just east of the depot). From the Tri-State Tollway (I-294), exit at North Avenue/Lake Street (Illinois 64/U.S. 20) and go west to York Road, then south to the tracks."
