Join Assistant Editor Brian Schmidt for a look at BNSF Railway's famed "Racetrack," the former Chicago, Burlington & Quincy main line between Chicago and Aurora, Ill. You'll see fast freights along with Amtrak and Metra passenger moves along the triple-track speedway at the Naperville and Route 59 stations.
For more Chicago railroading, be sure to check out our new special issue,
