Picture in my town

@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.

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

@Aqua-Letifer nope. I just steal 'em.

No person would grind away at it so consistently from all angles.

It’s worse than that, Jim. It’s a Castor canadensis alien!
