Jim Dodds General Great shot. I never seem to get to see a train out there. I know they only come through once or twice a day, but we stayed at Cre‰e Couer Park from 3:00 in the afternoon all of the way through 5:30 in the afternoon and saw nothing. It's too bad I live in the metro east, because I'll probably never get the chance. I lived in Chesterfield until I was almost 5 (in the year 200), and then moved to Naperville, IL when I turned 5 (in 2000), and now I live in Edwarsville, Illinois as of 2002. I'm 14 as of July 7 2009. That line has a special place in my heart, because when I was 3 years old, the first 2 trains that I ever remember seeing were on that line...I haven't seen a train on that line since 1998 when I lived there...:( 11/22/2009 12:32:57 AM
