So if the railroads will throw a fit, where is the best vantage point?

the dead end roads that just south and east of vickers, look them up on maps. Just north of wales road, not sure what they are called now.
CSX_CO: 10 minutes, keep hoping the yard blows up and I won't have to go in tonight.

CSX_CO: Hump Hump Hump all night long, hump all night while I sing this song. See those cars, going to make them fly, sure hope the double o' eight is on time

In the eastern suburb of Northwood, look for the intersection of Wales Rd & Drouillard Rd. A recently built overpass, means that the old alignment of these streets dead end at the tracks, southeast of the junction. The NW to SE diagonal tracks are the NS Chicago Line, and the N/S line is the CSX ex Toledo Terminal.

You can park and any of the road ends, just don't trespass on the tracks or at the Auto Detailing shop.

I'm going this weekend with my dad. I'm a big railfan, and can't wait. You can see me in a white shirt with the NS logo on back and NS football helmet on the front at top right. I'll be wearing a Carl Edwards 19 NASCAR Racing hat. Find me.
