| Title: |
Amtrak Texas Special |
| Description: |
The loco for this run is #112 and it slowly approaches the Amtrak loading platform set between the two ex-ATSF tracks and one of the ex_GMO tracks next to the Joliet Union Station. This has created a potentially dangerous area for passengers with the frequent freights that run through the area, albeit slowly. |

One of the problems |
| Description: |
Stopping at the diamond for the Metra single track and the former GMO track serves as an example of the congestion at this point. Frequent Metra trains stop freight and Amtrak trains from moving through the area. In turn, Metra is sometimes held up by freight or Amtrak. |
