    Morning walk? Lovely.

    Nah. Just some pics someone posted on FB. These are different days, of course. The second picture shows the bridge from which the first picture was taken.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                A slightly different take:

                And what it looked like in about 1875.

                            @Aqua-Letifer not my picture!

                            Some guy in my town's FB group posted that.

                            I live on the BNSF "raceway." There are literally dozens and dozens of trains that pass through here every day. For example, the Metra (which you see in this photo) runs from Aurora to Chicago. There are 44 trains that make that trip, and the same number back west. That's 88 trains.

                            Add to that a dozen Amtrak trains (California Zephyr, Southwest Chief, Carl Sandburg ) for another 6.

                            We're up to 94 trains a day, and I haven't counted freights headed in and out of the Cicero yards.

                            Screenshot 2023-02-03 at 6.00.11 AM.png

                            I would guess there's about 150 trains a day coming through town.
