... I am not absolutely positive, but I think the platform shots in North by Northwest were at the old LaSalle St. Station (weren't they on The Century?)....
I've noticed CUS South, the platform with 1920's skylight, in quite a few period movies... I'm sure someone already mentioned North by NorthWest... --Ken...

I think part of the problem with the BNSF is that they will still cross where the street crosses the tracks and there is no barrier between the tracks. ...
... People still cross when the train is stopped. The only way to fix the situation is to make it physically impossible for someone to cross the tracks and...
And where do you propose to put a third track? Right now that section is all CTC installed in the early 1980's. That more than serves the purpose.  ...

Unless things changed the platforms on both sides of the track went up to Glenview Ave and, for that matter, may have gone south as well. I will have to...
Parking has always been a problem even prior to Amtrak. Somehow it was good enough then. I do not see the justification based on that rationale to have...

The whole idea of modifying stations needs to be put on hold until after a third main is added. It seems to me that the most critical stretch would extend...
I just spoke to the Glenview village manager. This project is being driven by Metra's fear of lawsuits. The guy said that the village only wanted to build a...

Actually the platforms stretch farther north to allow a couple hundred feet to allow for a crossing restart for eb Metra. While the eb 'Builder is only...

I suppose the poor drivers don't complain if the eastbound commuter trains keep the gates down. I am not sure why the platforms were moved closer to Glenview...
So I won't be able to get ice cream anymore on a whistle stop wait between Metra and Amtrak trains, eh? Sprinkles! ~ Tim ... From: Dorron Katzin Sent: Nov 11,...

Oh darn! The poor people have to wait for the train to clear the crossing. Having worked GV for a while and also observed AM8 and AM7 I always thought the...
