This is a very cool place to watch Metra trains. There's a middle platform that gives great views of both major lines here. In the distance there is an old L line that went over this busy line. After the L line was pulled, the bridge was left in place. It is still used to support Metra signals in both directions. I've always wondered why they couldn't use it as a pedestrian bridge since the streets under the tracks have little room for pedestrians and bicycles.
