Three, sometimes four days a week, Ron Keller drives to Naperville’s downtown train station. No ticket in hand, his only chattel is a folding chair. Keller doesn’t go to the tracks to travel. He goes to watch. And he’s not the only one. There are a handful of Naperville residents like Keller who, every week, perch at the city’s Metra/Amtrak station just to see the trains go by, he says.
…I was actually just thinking this is something that costs almost nothing and probably brings train enthusiasts from around the area to your downtown.” In last week’s memo, Schatz acknowledged that the Chicago area is a “prime area for trainspotting” because of the sheer number of trains that run through the region. “As one of the most important rail centers in North America, Chicago has more lines on track radiating in more directions than any other city in America,” she wrote.
