My office in the building where I work (in Dwight, IL) has a window facing the train tracks, and we're just a block or two away from the local Amtrak station. I regularly see the Lincoln Service trains approaching or leaving the station. The Texas Eagle runs along the same track, but it wasn't until yesterday afternoon that I finally saw the southbound Texas Eagle going past on its way to the next station stop (Pontiac, IL, about 20 miles SW of Dwight - and it was running approx. 15 minutes late). The Lincoln Service trains are all single-level cars, so when I spotted the double-level Superliner cars, I knew it had to be the Texas Eagle.
Does anyone else have a good view of Amtrak tracks from where you live or work, and which trains are you able to see going by?
